Quesadilla Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Sauté the sliced onion and bell pepper until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the cooked chicken or beef and season with salt and pepper. Stir until heated through, then remove from heat.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Quesadillas

    Heat a separate skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place one tortilla in the skillet, and sprinkle half of the shredded cheese evenly over the tortilla. Top with half of the meat and vegetable mixture, then sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Place a second tortilla on top.

  3. 3

    Cook the Quesadillas

    Cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and the cheese starts to melt. Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side. Remove from skillet and let it cool slightly before slicing.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Cut the quesadilla into wedges and serve with salsa, sour cream, or guacamole.
