Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced bell peppers and onions, cooking until they are softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the shredded chicken, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Quesadillas

    On a clean surface, place a tortilla, and spread about 1/4 cup of the chicken filling on one half of the tortilla. Sprinkle with cheese, then fold the tortilla in half to enclose the filling.

  3. 3

    Cook the Quesadillas

    In the same skillet over medium heat, add the folded quesadilla. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Cut each quesadilla into quarters and serve warm with sour cream and salsa on the side.
