Quesadilla Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil, sliced onions, and bell peppers. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the pulled chicken or ground beef, salt, and black pepper, stirring to combine. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, until heated through.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    On a clean surface, lay out a flour tortilla. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheese on one half of the tortilla, then add a generous portion of the chicken or beef mixture on top of the cheese. Sprinkle another 1/2 cup of cheese over the meat, then fold the tortilla in half.

  3. 3

    Cook the Quesadilla

    Wipe the skillet clean and return it to medium heat. Add a little olive oil and place the folded quesadilla in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas.

  4. 4

    Serve

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