Quesadilla Ingredients
Method
Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Filling
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced bell pepper, red onion, and jalapeño (if using). Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened.
Add Chicken and Seasoning
Add the shredded chicken, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until heated through.
Assemble the Quesadilla
On one half of each tortilla, layer the cheese and the chicken mixture. Fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.
Cook the Quesadilla
In the same skillet, place the folded quesadilla and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Serve
Remove from skillet, slice into wedges, and serve hot with salsa or sour cream.
