Quesadilla Pie

Super delicious. Somewhat nutritious. Always a hit!!!

1 (10 in) flour tortilla
3 cups shredded chicken - rotisserie chicken makes this step quick and is about 3 cups for a whole chicken
1/3 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 cup drained jarred pickled jalapenos, finely chopped (can be lessened or omitted if you don't like spicy food)
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
salt and pepper
1 large egg
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking powder

Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat to 450 degrees.  Grease 9-in pie plate.  Press tortilla into prepared pie plate and spray lightly with vegetable oil spray.  Toss chicken, cilantro, jalapenos, 1 cup cheese, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp pepper in bowl until combined.  Spread filling over tortilla.

Whisk egg, flour, milk, baking powder, and 1/2 tsp salt in bowl until smooth.  Slowly pour over filling, then sprinkle with remaining cheese.  Bake until surface is golden brown, about 20 minutes.  Let cool 5 minutes.  Cut into wedges and serve.

I like to serve with sour cream and guacamole!
