Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Remove from skillet, let it rest for a few minutes, then shred it.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Tortillas

    In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil and reduce heat to medium-low. Place one tortilla in the skillet.

  4. 4

    Add Cheese and Fillings

    Sprinkle a layer of shredded cheese on half of the tortilla. Then add shredded chicken, roasted peppers, black beans, and chopped cilantro on top of the cheese.

  5. 5

    Fold and Cook

    Fold the tortilla in half to cover the fillings. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until the cheese begins to melt, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Repeat for Remaining Quesadillas

    Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and fillings.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve with salsa, crema, and guacamole on the side.
