Method
Preparation
Cook the Chicken
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and sprinkle Tex-Mex seasoning over them. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before dicing.
Prepare the Filling
In the same skillet, add the diced red and green bell peppers and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until slightly tender. Mix in the diced chicken and combine well.
Assemble the Quesadillas
On one half of each tortilla, layer the chicken and pepper mixture, followed by a generous amount of mixed cheese. Fold the tortillas over to create a half-moon shape.
Cook the Quesadillas
Wipe the skillet clean and return to medium heat. Cook each quesadilla for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and the cheese has melted. Cut into wedges.
Serving
Serve
Serve the quesadillas hot with sour cream, salsa, and a side of Mexican rice or side salad.
