Quesadilla Ingredients
Method
Cooking Directions
- 1
Prepare the Vegetables
In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced bell pepper and onion. Season with salt and black pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened and slightly caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.

Assemble the Quesadillas
On a clean, flat surface, lay out one flour tortilla. Sprinkle approximately 1/2 cup of shredded cheese evenly over one half of the tortilla. If using, add 1/4 cup of shredded cooked chicken on top of the cheese, followed by a portion of the sautéed bell pepper and onion mixture. Sprinkle another 1/2 cup of cheese over the fillings and fold the tortilla in half.

Cook the Quesadilla
In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and heat over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the assembled quesadilla in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, or until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is golden brown. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

Serve
Remove the cooked quesadillas from the skillet and let them cool for a minute. Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve warm with sour cream and salsa on the side.
