Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the diced bell peppers and onions. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are soft. Season with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Mix the Filling

    In a large bowl, combine the sautéed vegetables with the shredded chicken and pepperjack cheese. Mix well.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Quesadillas

    Place a tortilla on a clean surface. Spread a generous amount of the chicken and cheese mixture on half of the tortilla. Fold the other half over to create a half-moon shape.

  4. 4

    Cook the Quesadillas

    In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if needed. Cook the quesadilla over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from the skillet, cut into wedges, and serve with salsa and sour cream on the side.
