Quesadilla Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add sliced bell pepper and onion. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Quesadillas

    On one half of each tortilla, sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese. Add the sautéed vegetables and shredded chicken if using. Top with another layer of cheese and fold the tortilla over.

  3. 3

    Cook the Quesadillas

    In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if necessary. Heat over medium heat. Place the folded quesadilla in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove from skillet, cut into wedges, and serve hot with sour cream and salsa on the side.
