Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Grease a baking tray or line it with parchment paper.
In a bowl, mix the cubed chicken with salt, pepper, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, soy sauce, chili sauce, ketchup, and garlic paste.
Heat a pan over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken.
Cook until the chicken is fully done and slightly caramelized. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a small bowl, combine ketchup, garlic mayo, sriracha, mustard, soy sauce, red chili flakes (if using), and mixed herbs.
Mix well and set aside.
Pour water into a shallow dish.
Dip each whole tortilla in the water quickly to make them soft and foldable.
Cut each softened tortilla into two half-moons using a knife or scissors.
Lay one tortilla half flat on your work surface.
Spread a little of the spicy pizza sauce over it.
Place 1 cheese slice on top of the sauce.
Add a spoonful of the cooked chicken over the cheese slice.
Fold the flat edge of the half-moon over the filling to form a triangle. Press gently to seal.
Repeat for all 6 triangles.
Place all the filled triangles in the greased baking tray.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the tops.
For extra spice, sprinkle a pinch of chili flakes or paprika on top.
Place the tray in the preheated oven.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
Optional: Switch to broil/grill mode for the last 1–2 minutes for a golden bubbly top.
Remove from oven and let cool for 2 minutes.
Serve hot with the remaining spicy pizza sauce on the side for dipping.

For extra crispiness, lightly toast the tortillas before assembling.
Adjust the spice level by reducing or increasing the chili powder and sriracha in the recipe.
Use a pizza cutter to neatly cut the tortillas into half-moons.
If you don't have garlic mayo, mix regular mayo with a small amount of garlic paste.
Can I use store-bought rotisserie chicken instead of cooking the chicken?
Yes, you can use shredded rotisserie chicken. Just mix it with the spices and sauces to enhance the flavor.
Can I make these quesadilla triangles ahead of time?
Yes, you can assemble the triangles and refrigerate them. Bake them fresh when ready to serve.
What can I use as a substitute for sriracha sauce?
You can use any hot sauce or chili sauce as a substitute for sriracha.
Can I make this recipe vegetarian?
Yes, replace the chicken with sautéed vegetables or a plant-based protein like tofu or paneer.
How do I store leftovers?
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven for best results.
