Method

Preparation

Prepare the Vegetables

Chop the green bell pepper and red onion into small pieces.

Cook the Filling

In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped bell pepper and onion, sautéing for about 5 minutes until softened.

Combine Ingredients

Add the shredded chicken to the skillet and mix well with the sautéed vegetables. Remove from heat.

Cooking

Assemble the Quesadilla

Place a tortilla in a clean skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle about 1/2 cup of shredded cheese evenly over half of the tortilla.

Add the Filling

Spoon a portion of the chicken and vegetable mixture over the cheese. Top with another 1/2 cup of cheese and fold the tortilla in half.

Cook the Quesadilla

Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese has melted. If needed, add more olive oil to the skillet to prevent sticking.

Repeat

Repeat the assembly and cooking process with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Serve

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