Quesadilla Ingredients

Method

Quesadilla Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced bell pepper and onion.

  2. 2

    Cook Vegetables

    Sauté the bell pepper and onion for about 5-7 minutes, until they are tender. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Add Chicken

    Add the shredded cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables, and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    In a separate skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Place one flour tortilla in the skillet.

  5. 5

    Layer Ingredients

    On one half of the tortilla, sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheese, followed by 1/4 of the chicken and vegetable mixture. Top with another 1/2 cup of cheese.

  6. 6

    Fold and Cook

    Carefully fold the tortilla in half over the filling. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the other side is golden and the cheese is melted.

  7. 7

    Repeat

    Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve with sour cream and salsa on the side.
