Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Shred the cooked chicken and slice the bell peppers and onion. If using, slice the jalapeños.

  2. 2

    Season the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken with cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté Vegetables

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced bell peppers, onion, and jalapeños. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.

  2. 4

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    In a separate pan, heat one tortilla over medium heat. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese on one half of the tortilla, add half of the sautéed vegetables, and half of the seasoned chicken. Fold the tortilla in half.

  3. 5

    Cook the Quesadilla

    Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is golden brown. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve the Quesadilla

    Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve hot with sour cream, salsa, and guacamole on the side.
