Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat them well with the marinade. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through and juices run clear. Remove from grill and let rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.

Assembling the Quesadilla

  1. 3

    Layer the Ingredients

    On one half of a flour tortilla, place a generous amount of shredded cheese, followed by grilled chicken strips, shredded lettuce, and diced tomatoes.

  2. 4

    Fold and Cook

    Fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape. Heat a skillet over medium heat 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.

  3. 5

    Repeat

    Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas and filling.

Serving

  1. 6

    Cut and Serve

    Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve them hot with a side of salsa and sour cream.
