Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced bell pepper and onion. Season with salt and black pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Tortillas

    Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean surface. On one half of each tortilla, evenly distribute the shredded cheese, shredded chicken, and sautéed vegetables.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Quesadilla

    Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the skillet over medium heat. Carefully fold each tortilla in half over the filling. Place one or two quesadillas in the skillet at a time, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted.

  2. 4

    Slice and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the quesadillas from the skillet. Let them cool for a minute, then slice them into wedges. Serve with optional sour cream, guacamole, and salsa on the side.
