Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    If using chicken, season with your choice of spices (like cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper). If using steak, marinate for at least 30 minutes in your desired marinade.

  2. 2

    Slice the Vegetables

    Thinly slice the red bell pepper, red onion, and green onion. Set aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Chicken/Steak

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the seasoned chicken breast for about 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked, or cook the marinated steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Remove from heat and let rest before slicing.

  2. 4

    Caramelize the Onions

    In the same skillet, add a little oil if needed. Add the sliced red and green onions and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and caramelized (about 10 minutes). Add the sliced red bell pepper and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until tender.

Assembling the Quesadillas

  1. 5

    Fill the Tortillas

    On one half of each tortilla, layer the cooked chicken or steak, the caramelized onions and peppers, and top with shredded Cheddar Jack cheese.

  2. 6

    Cook the Quesadillas

    Fold the tortilla in half and place it in a clean skillet over medium heat. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese has melted. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve with Sauces

    Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve with your choice of sour cream, salsa, or Santa Fe ranch on the side.
