Quesadilla Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced onion and bell pepper, season with salt and black pepper, and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the shredded chicken to the skillet and mix well. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    On one half of each tortilla, sprinkle a generous amount of cheese, then add a portion of the chicken and vegetable mixture. Fold the tortilla in half.

  4. 4

    Cook the Quesadilla

    In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if necessary. Cook each quesadilla over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from heat and cut into wedges. Serve warm with sour cream and salsa on the side.
