To make this dish, you'll need the following ingredients:

- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken
- 1 cup crumbled goat cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/2 cup diced red onion
- 1/2 cup diced tomato
- 1/4 cup diced jalapeno pepper
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for cooking

To start, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Then, in a large bowl, mix together the chicken, goat cheese, cilantro, and red onion. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Next, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Place one tortilla in the skillet and spoon a quarter of the chicken mixture onto one half of the tortilla. Fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling and press down gently with a spatula. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and chicken mixture, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
Once all of the quesadillas are cooked, transfer them to a baking sheet and place in the oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
While the quesadillas are baking, make the pico de gallo by mixing together the diced tomato, jalapeno pepper, and lime juice in a small bowl.
To serve, cut the quesadillas into wedges and top with the pico de gallo. Enjoy!
