Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Chop the red bell pepper and onion into thin slices.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and bell pepper, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until softened. Season with cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Quesadillas

    In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Place one tortilla in the skillet. Layer half of the tortilla with cooked chicken, sautéed vegetables, and half of the shredded cheese. Fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.

  4. 4

    Cook the Quesadilla

    Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown, then carefully flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is crispy.

  5. 5

    Repeat and Serve

    Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling. Slice the quesadillas into wedges and serve warm.
