Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add diced onion and bell pepper, sautéing for about 5 minutes until softened.

  2. 2

    Season and Cook Chicken

    Add the chicken breast to the skillet. Sprinkle taco seasoning over the chicken and stir to coat. Cook for about 7-10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through, then remove from heat and shred the chicken.

    Assemble Quesadillas

    Lay a tortilla flat, sprinkle with cheese, add shredded chicken, and top with another sprinkle of cheese. Top with another tortilla.

    Cook Quesadillas

    In a clean skillet over medium heat, place the assembled quesadilla. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until the tortillas are golden and the cheese is melted.

    Serve

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