Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the sliced chicken or beef, bell pepper, and onion. Season with salt, black pepper, cumin, and chili powder. Cook until the meat is cooked through and vegetables are tender, about 7-10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Quesadillas

    Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. On one half of the tortilla, add a portion of the cooked chicken or beef mixture and top with shredded cheese. Fold the tortilla over to cover the filling.

  3. 3

    Cook the Quesadillas

    In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if needed and place the folded quesadilla in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and cut into wedges. Serve with sour cream and salsa on the side.
