1
Prep Your Ingredients
Chop the bell peppers and onions, shred the cooked chicken, and slice the jalapeños if using. Set aside.
2
Prepare the Cheese
If not using store-bought queso casero, prepare your homemade cheese. It should be soft and easy to spread.

3
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat until shimmering.
4
Assemble the Tortillas
Place a tortilla in the skillet, sprinkle 1/2 cup of queso casero on one half, and add your choice of optional fillings on top.
5
Fold and Cook
Fold the tortilla in half and press down gently. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown, then flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes.
6
Repeat
Remove the cooked quesadilla from the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining tortillas, adding more oil to the skillet if necessary.

7
Slice and Serve
Once all quesadillas are cooked, slice them into wedges and serve warm with additional toppings like chopped cilantro or jalapeños.
