Quesadilla Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix the olive oil and taco seasoning. Add the chicken breasts and coat well. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked. Remove from grill and let rest before slicing.

  3. 3

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a skillet, add a little olive oil and sauté the sliced bell pepper and onion until soft, about 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Assemble Quesadilla

    On half of each tortilla, layer sliced grilled chicken, sautéed vegetables, and shredded cheese. Fold the tortilla over.

  5. 5

    Cook Quesadilla

    In the same skillet, cook the folded quesadilla over medium heat for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden and the cheese is melted.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Cut into wedges and serve with sour cream, salsa, and fresh cilantro on the side.
