ONE LOVE

JAMÓN SERRANO

Cerignola olives marinated in garlic rosemary olive oil

Olives

If using, slice the bell pepper, onion, and jalapeño into thin strips. Set aside.

Prepare the Fillings

If not already shredded, take the cooked chicken breast and shred it using two forks or your hands.

Shred the Chicken

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.

Heat the Pan

Place one flour tortilla in the skillet. On one half of the tortilla, layer 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, followed by 1/4 cup of shredded chicken, and any optional fillings you desire (bell pepper, onion, jalapeño). Top with another 1/2 cup of shredded cheese.

Assemble the Quesadilla

Fold the tortilla in half over the fillings. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side.

Cook the Quesadilla

Remove the cooked quesadilla from the skillet and keep warm. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas, adding more olive oil to the skillet as needed.

Repeat

Cut the quesadilla into wedges and serve hot with sour cream, guacamole, and salsa on the side.
