Quesadilla Ingredients

4 pieces Flour tortillas

2 cups Shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)

1 cup Cooked chicken, diced

1 piece Onion, sliced

2 tbs olive oil

1 tsp black pepper

Method

Preparation Steps

Prepare the Filling

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced onion and bell pepper, sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add diced cooked chicken, salt, and black pepper. Stir for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.

Assemble the Quesadillas

On one half of each tortilla, sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese followed by the chicken and vegetable mixture. Top with more cheese, then fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.

Cook the Quesadillas

Wipe the skillet clean and return it to the heat. Add a little more olive oil if necessary. Cook each quesadilla for about 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Serve

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