Quesadilla Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breast with salt, black pepper, and cumin.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Add the chicken breast to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked. Remove from heat and let it rest before shredding.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced bell pepper and onion, and sauté for about 5 minutes or until they are tender.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    On one half of each tortilla, layer the shredded chicken, sautéed vegetables, and shredded cheese. Fold the tortillas in half over the filling.

  5. 5

    Cook the Quesadilla

    Wipe the skillet clean and place it back over medium heat. Cook each quesadilla for about 3-4 minutes per side or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted.

  6. 6

    Slice and Serve

    Remove the quesadillas from the skillet and let them cool for a minute. Slice into wedges and serve with your favorite salsa or guacamole.
