Instructions

- Place one tortilla on the skillet and add pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, chicken, and basil to one half.
- Let the tortilla cook until the cheese begins to melt and the underside starts to brown.
- Fold the plain half of the tortilla over the filled side to create a half-moon shape.
- Cook for 1 minute, then flip the quesadilla and cook until golden brown and cheese is fully melted.
