Quesadilla Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Slice the grilled chicken breast, bell pepper, and onion into thin strips.

  2. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced bell pepper and onion, sprinkling with salt and black pepper. Sauté until they are softened, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    On one half of each flour tortilla, layer the sautéed vegetables, sliced grilled chicken, and cheddar cheese. Fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling.

  4. 4

    Grill the Quesadilla

    In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Place the filled tortillas in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and the cheese is melted.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from heat, cut into wedges, and serve hot with salsa or sour cream if desired.
