Main Ingredients

2 cups Chicken breast

4 pieces Flour tortillas

2 cups Shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)

1 cup Bell pepper (diced)

1 cup Onion (diced)

2 tbs olive oil

Seasoning

1 tsp Celtic sea salt

1 tsp black pepper

1 tsp Cumin

1 tsp Chili powder

1 tsp Watkins garlic powder

Optional Toppings

1 cup Sour cream

1 cup Salsa

1 cup Guacamole

Method

Preparation

Cook the Chicken

In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and season with salt, black pepper, cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly before shredding.

Sauté Vegetables

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the diced onion and bell pepper over medium heat for about 5-6 minutes, or until they are soft and slightly caramelized.

Assembly

Fill the Tortillas

Take one flour tortilla and place a portion of the shredded chicken on one half of the tortilla. Add a portion of the sautéed vegetables and top with a generous amount of shredded cheese. Fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.

Cooking

Cook the Quesadilla

In the same skillet, place the folded quesadilla and cook over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat this process for the remaining tortillas.

Serving

Serve

Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve hot with optional toppings such as sour cream, salsa, and guacamole.
