Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Ingredients

    Gather all the ingredients needed for the quesadilla. Ensure the chicken is cooked and shredded. Slice the bell pepper, onion, and jalapeño if using.

  2. 2

    Season Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken with ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the seasoning.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat Oil

    In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.

  2. 4

    Cook Vegetables

    Add the sliced bell pepper, onion, and jalapeño to the skillet. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  3. 5

    Add Chicken

    Stir in the seasoned shredded chicken and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through. Remove the mixture from the skillet and set aside.

  4. 6

    Assemble Quesadillas

    Wipe the skillet clean and return it to the heat. Place one tortilla in the skillet, sprinkle half of the cheddar and mozzarella cheese over it, then add half of the chicken and vegetable mixture. Top with more cheese and place a second tortilla on top.

  5. 7

    Cook Quesadilla

    Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom tortilla is golden brown, then carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the other side is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

  6. 8

    Repeat

    Remove the cooked quesadilla from the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling.

  7. 9

    Serve

    Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve warm with sour cream and salsa on the side.
