Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    If using optional add-ins, chop the bell peppers, onion, and cilantro. Shred the cooked chicken if using.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Heat the Pan

    In a non-stick skillet, heat the butter or olive oil over medium heat until melted and hot.

  2. 3

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    Place one flour tortilla in the skillet. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese evenly over the tortilla. If using, add the shredded chicken, bell peppers, onion, and cilantro on top of the cheese. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the toppings, then place the second tortilla on top.

  3. 4

    Cook the Quesadilla

    Cook the quesadilla for about 3-4 minutes or until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and the cheese starts to melt.

  4. 5

    Flip and Finish Cooking

    Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the other side is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.

Serving

  1. 6

    Slice and Serve

    Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for a minute. Cut into wedges and serve with salsa or guacamole on the side.
