Quesadilla Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the boneless, skinless chicken breasts with ancho chili powder, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the seasoned chicken. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add sliced bell pepper and onion. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until they are tender.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Quesadillas

    On one half of each tortilla, layer the sliced chicken, sautéed vegetables, and shredded cheese. Fold the tortilla in half.

  5. 5

    Cook the Quesadillas

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

  6. 6

    Serve

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