1
Prepare the Filling
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced onion and bell pepper, sautéing until softened, about 5 minutes. Add shredded chicken, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through. Remove from heat.
2
Assemble the Quesadilla
Place one tortilla in a clean skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese on one half of the tortilla, followed by half of the filling mixture and then top with another layer of cheese. Fold the tortilla over.
3
Grill the Quesadilla
Cook the quesadilla for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
4
Serve
Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve hot with salsa, sour cream, or guacamole on the side.
