Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they are soft.

  2. 2

    Add Chicken and Seasoning

    Add the cooked chicken to the skillet along with salt, pepper, cumin, and chili powder. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    On one tortilla, spread a generous amount of the chicken and vegetable mixture, and then sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheese on top. Place another tortilla on top.

  2. 4

    Cook the Quesadilla

    In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, carefully place the assembled quesadilla in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted.

  3. 5

    Cut and Serve

    Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for a minute. Cut into wedges and serve with optional toppings such as sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.
