1
Prepare the Ingredients
Begin by shredding or dicing the cooked chicken. Slice the bell peppers and onion. If using jalapeños, slice them as well. Set all ingredients aside.

2
Heat the Pan
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
3
Sauté the Vegetables
Add the sliced bell peppers and onion to the skillet. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are softened. If using, add jalapeños to taste. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside.
4
Assemble the Quesadillas
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil if necessary. Place one tortilla in the skillet. On one half of the tortilla, layer 1/2 cup of shredded cheese, 1/4 cup of cooked chicken, and sautéed vegetables. Fold the tortilla over.
5
Cook the Quesadilla
Cook the quesadilla for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is golden brown. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.

6
Serve the Quesadillas
Once cooked, remove the quesadillas from the skillet and let them cool for a minute. Cut into wedges and serve with sour cream and salsa on the side.
