Method

Preparation

1

Prepare the Vegetables

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and bell peppers. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until softened. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

2

Prepare the Chicken

In the same skillet, add the cooked shredded chicken to the sautéed vegetables. Mix well and heat for another 2-3 minutes until the chicken is warmed through.

Cooking the Quesadilla

3

Assemble the Quesadilla

Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheese on one half of the tortilla. Top with a portion of the chicken and vegetable mixture, and then add another 1/2 cup of cheese on top. Fold the tortilla over to cover the filling.

4

Cook the Quesadilla

In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Carefully place the folded quesadilla into the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown. Gently flip and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is crispy.

5

Repeat

Repeat the assembly and cooking process for the remaining tortillas.

Serving

6

Slice and Serve

Once cooked, remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it rest for a minute. Slice into wedges and serve warm with sour cream, salsa, and optional toppings like jalapeños and cilantro.
