The base is unchanged: two flour tortillas, ham and melting cheese, pressed on a hot *comal* until cohesive and golden. The chicken slides in alongside, usually shredded and seasoned, turning a light snack into something closer to a meal without losing the format's speed. It is the version most *cafeter铆as* sell more of than the plain one, and for many people it is simply what a *sincronizada* is. The chicken is the variable that decides the whole thing. A careful kitchen uses shredded *pollo deshebrado*, poached and pulled then warmed with onion and a little tomato or a spoon of salsa so it is moist and actually seasoned, not bland white meat dropped in for bulk. Grilled and sliced breast works too if it stays juicy. It goes in a thin, even layer with the ham and a generous melting cheese, *Oaxaca*, *asadero*, or *Chihuahua*, so the chicken binds into the melt rather than sitting as a dry stratum. The *comal* technique carries over exactly: medium heat, light fat or none, steady contact, and enough time for the cheese to fully run before the tortilla scorches. A good one is golden and holds together in wedges with the chicken distributed through every bite. The failure modes stack with the added protein: dry, underseasoned chicken; a cold center because the extra filling slowed the melt; or a split, sliding mess from overstuffing. Salsa, avocado, or *crema* on the side does the final balancing, cutting the richness of cheese plus ham plus chicken. From here the additions keep going. Refried beans add body and help glue the layers; *rajas* of poblano bring a vegetal, mildly hot note; saut茅ed mushrooms or grilled onions deepen it; a little *chipotle* in the chicken pushes it smoky. Some cooks drop the ham entirely for a chicken-and-cheese build, which edges it toward a stuffed *quesadilla* and back into an old argument about where one ends and the other begins. That boundary question, *quesadilla* versus *sincronizada*, is a debate of its own with regional camps, and it deserves its own article rather than being crowded in here. --- ## More from this family Other [La Quesadilla](https://onesandwich.com/tag/la-quesadilla/) sandwiches in Mexico: - [Cheese Quesadilla (USA)](https://onesandwich.com/cheese-quesadilla-usa/) - [Chicken Quesadilla (USA)](https://onesandwich.com/chicken-quesadilla-usa/) - [Gringa](https://onesandwich.com/gringa/) - [Gringas](https://onesandwich.com/gringas/) - [Kimchi Quesadilla](https://onesandwich.com/kimchi-quesadilla/) - [Machete](https://onesandwich.com/machete/) - [Quesadilla de Carne](https://onesandwich.com/quesadilla-de-carne/) - [Quesadilla de Chicharr贸n](https://onesandwich.com/quesadilla-de-chicharron/) [See all La Quesadilla sandwiches 鈫抅(https://onesandwich.com/tag/la-quesadilla/)
