Quesadilla Components

4 pieces Flour tortillas

2 cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese

1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese

1 cup Cooked Chicken Breast, diced

1 piece Bell pepper, diced

1 piece Onion, diced

2 tbs olive oil

1 tsp Celtic sea salt

1 tsp black pepper

1 cup Sour cream

1 cup Salsa

1 tbs Fresh cilantro, chopped

Method

Preparation

Cook the Vegetables

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, and sauté for about 5 minutes until they are tender and slightly caramelized. Season with salt and black pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.

Prepare the Filling

In the same skillet, add the cooked chicken breast and the sautéed vegetables. Mix well and heat for another 2-3 minutes until everything is warmed through. Remove from heat and set aside.

Assemble the Quesadillas

Lay one tortilla on a flat surface. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese evenly over half of the tortilla. Then, add 1/4 of the chicken and vegetable mixture on top of the cheese. Fold the tortilla in half to cover the filling.

Cook the Quesadilla

In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Place the folded quesadilla in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown. Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is crispy. Remove from heat and repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Serve

Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve hot with sour cream, salsa, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro on top.
