1
Prepare the Chicken
In a bowl, toss the chicken breast with jerk seasoning and olive oil. Allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
2
Cook the Chicken
Heat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Remove from heat and let it rest before slicing.
3
Assemble the Quesadillas
Place a tortilla on a flat surface. Layer half of the tortilla with shredded pepper jack cheese, sliced jerk chicken, and a bit more cheese. Fold the tortilla in half.
4
Cook the Quesadillas
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the folded quesadilla for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat for all tortillas.
5
Serve
Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve with diced tomato, shredded lettuce, sour cream, and salsa on the side.
