1
Prepare the Filling
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onions and bell peppers. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the shredded chicken, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.
2
Assemble the Quesadilla
Lay out one garlic herb tortilla on a flat surface. Evenly distribute a portion of the chicken and vegetable mixture on half of the tortilla. Sprinkle shredded cheddar jack cheese over the filling. Fold the tortilla over to cover the filling.
3
Cook the Quesadilla
In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if needed and heat over medium-high heat. Place the folded quesadilla in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Remove from skillet and repeat with remaining tortillas.
4
Serve
Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve warm with your choice of salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
