Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the shredded chicken to the skillet and season with salt and black pepper. Stir to combine and heat through, about 2-3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    Place a tortilla in a separate skillet over medium heat. On one half of the tortilla, add a portion of the chicken mixture and sprinkle with shredded cheese. Fold the tortilla over to cover the filling.

  4. 4

    Cook the 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.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve hot with sour cream and salsa on the side.
