Quesadilla Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the chicken breast with olive oil, taco seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly. Let it marinate for about 15 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 fully cooked. Remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    On one half of each tortilla, layer sliced grilled chicken, cheddar cheese, jack cheese, diced tomatoes, onions, and jalapenos. Fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.

  4. 4

    Cook the Quesadilla

    In a clean grill pan or skillet, heat over medium heat. Place the assembled quesadilla in the pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese has melted.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from the pan, slice into wedges, and serve immediately with your choice of salsa or guacamole.
