Quesadilla Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Sauté the sliced bell pepper and onion until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Add the shredded chicken, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    Lay one tortilla flat and sprinkle half of the cheese evenly over one side. Add a portion of the chicken and vegetable mixture on top of the cheese. Then sprinkle the remaining cheese over the filling. Fold the tortilla in half.

  3. 3

    Cook the Quesadilla

    In the same skillet, place the folded quesadilla and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve with sour cream and salsa on the side.
