Assemble the Quesadilla
Place one tortilla in the skillet. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese evenly over the tortilla. If using, add the cooked chicken, bell peppers, onion, and jalapeños on top of the cheese. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over these toppings and then top with the second tortilla.

Cook the Quesadilla
Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt. Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes until it's golden brown and crispy.

Slice and Serve
Once cooked, remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for a minute. Slice into wedges and serve with salsa, guacamole, or sour cream if desired.
