Quesadilla Filling

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the diced onion and bell pepper and sauté until they are softened, about 5 minutes. If using, add the diced chicken and cook until heated through. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Quesadillas

    On a clean surface, lay one flour tortilla down. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese over half of the tortilla, followed by the sautéed filling. Top with another layer of cheese and fold the tortilla in half.

  3. 3

    Cook the Quesadillas

    In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if necessary. Place the folded quesadilla in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the quesadillas from the skillet, let them cool for a minute, then cut into wedges. Serve warm with salsa, guacamole, or sour cream on the side.
