Quesadilla Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the sliced bell peppers and onion, sauté for about 5 minutes until they are softened. Add the shredded chicken to the skillet and mix well until heated through.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    Take one flour tortilla and sprinkle 1/4 cup of cheese on one half. Add a generous amount of the chicken and vegetable mixture, then top with another 1/4 cup of cheese. Fold the tortilla in half.

  3. 3

    Cook the Quesadilla

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

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove from skillet and cut into wedges. Serve hot with sour cream, salsa, and chopped cilantro on the side.
