Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prep the Vegetables

    Slice the bell pepper and red onion into thin strips. Rinse the fresh spinach under cold water and pat dry with a towel.

  2. 2

    Season the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix the diced cooked chicken with cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Make sure the chicken is evenly coated with the spices.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced bell pepper and red onion, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until soft. Add the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.

  2. 4

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    On one flour tortilla, layer half of the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses, followed by the seasoned chicken, sautéed vegetables, and the remaining cheese. Top with the second tortilla.

  3. 5

    Cook the Quesadilla

    In the same skillet, carefully place the assembled quesadilla over medium heat. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes until the other side is golden and the cheese has melted.

Serving

  1. 6

    Slice and Serve

    Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for a minute before slicing it into wedges. Serve warm with sour cream and salsa on the side.
