Quesadilla Ingredients

Method

Quesadilla Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Season the chicken breast with salt and black pepper. Grill or pan-cook over medium heat until fully cooked and no longer pink inside. Allow to cool slightly, then shred or chop into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper. Sauté until the onions are translucent and mushrooms are tender, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    On a large tortilla, layer half of the grilled chicken, half of the sautéed vegetables, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar jack cheese. Top with another tortilla.

  4. 4

    Cook the Quesadilla

    In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Cook the quesadilla over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve hot with your favorite toppings, such as salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
