Quesadilla Ingredients

Method

Quesadilla Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the filling

    In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and bell peppers, and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. If using, add the shredded chicken and cook until heated through. Remove from heat.

  2. 2

    Assemble the quesadilla

    Place one tortilla in a clean skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheese over one half of the tortilla, then add a portion of the sautéed vegetables and chicken (if using). Fold the tortilla in half to cover the filling.

  3. 3

    Cook the quesadilla

    Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.

  4. 4

    Prepare the fries

    Prepare fries according to package instructions, either baking or frying until golden and crisp.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve hot with sour cream and salsa on the side, alongside the fries.
