Quesadilla Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and bell pepper, and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they are softened.

  2. 2

    Add the shredded chicken, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Quesadillas

    On one half of each tortilla, layer a portion of the chicken mixture and sprinkle with a mix of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese. Fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling.

  4. 4

    Cook the Quesadillas

    In the same skillet, place the folded quesadilla and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from skillet, cut into wedges, and serve hot with your favorite salsa or guacamole.
