Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix the diced chicken breast with olive oil, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Let it marinate for 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.

Assemble the Quesadilla

  1. 3

    Layer the Ingredients

    Take one flour tortilla and place it on a clean surface. Sprinkle half a cup of shredded cheese over one half of the tortilla. Add a portion of the sliced grilled chicken on top of the cheese.

  2. 4

    Fold and Cook

    Fold the tortilla over to cover the filling. In the same skillet used for the chicken, add a little olive oil if necessary and place the folded quesadilla in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Serving

  1. 5

    Slice and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it sit for a minute. Cut into wedges and serve hot with sour cream, salsa, and guacamole on the side.
