Prepare the Vegetables
In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced bell peppers and onion. Sauté until they are soft and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.

Season the Chicken (if using)
If using shredded chicken, season it with ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to taste. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated.

Assemble the Quesadillas
On one half of each tortilla, sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese. Top with sautéed vegetables and seasoned chicken (if using). Fold the other half of the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.

Cook the Quesadillas
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Heat over medium until hot. Place the folded quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Serve
Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for a minute. Cut into wedges and serve with salsa, sour cream, or guacamole on the side.
