Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a bowl, combine the shredded cheese, cooked chicken or ground beef, chopped bell peppers, and chopped onions. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Heat the Pan

    In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter over medium heat.

  2. 3

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    Place one flour tortilla in the skillet. Spread half of the cheese and meat mixture evenly over the tortilla. Top with another tortilla.

  3. 4

    Cook the Quesadilla

    Cook for 3-4 minutes until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and the cheese starts to melt. Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes.

  4. 5

    Repeat

    Remove the cooked quesadilla from the skillet and repeat the assembly and cooking process with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Serving

  1. 6

    Slice and Serve

    Once all quesadillas are cooked, slice them into wedges. Serve warm with salsa and sour cream on the side.
