1
Prepare the Chicken
Dice the chicken breast into small cubes. In a skillet over medium heat, add a tablespoon of oil and heat it. Add the diced chicken to the skillet and sprinkle with Cajun spice mix. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.
2
Sauté the Vegetables
In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if necessary, then add diced onions and bell peppers. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes or until the onions are translucent and the peppers are tender. Combine the sautéed vegetables with the cooked chicken.
3
Assemble the Quesadilla
Take one tortilla and place it on a flat surface. On half of the tortilla, layer a generous amount of the chicken and vegetable mixture, and top with shredded cheese. Fold the tortilla in half to cover the filling.
4
Grill the Quesadilla
In the skillet over medium heat, add a small amount of oil. Place the folded quesadilla in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
5
Serve
Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool slightly before cutting it into wedges. Serve with salsa and sour cream on the side.
