Quesadilla Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and bell pepper, sauté until softened for about 5 minutes. Stir in the shredded grilled chicken, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through. Remove from heat.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    On one half of each tortilla, layer the chicken mixture and top with shredded cheese. Fold the tortilla in half to cover the filling.

  3. 3

    Cook the Quesadilla

    In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Place the folded quesadilla in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat for remaining quesadillas.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove from skillet, cut into wedges, and serve warm with salsa or guacamole if desired.
