Preparation Steps

1

Cook the Chicken

In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breast, season with salt, pepper, and cumin. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until cooked through. Remove from heat and shred the chicken.

2

Sauté Vegetables

In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Add sliced bell pepper and onion. Sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

3

Assemble the Quesadilla

On one half of each tortilla, layer shredded chicken, sautéed vegetables, and shredded cheese. Fold the tortilla in half.

4

Cook the Quesadilla

Wipe the skillet clean and place over medium heat. Cook each quesadilla for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese has melted.

5

Slice and Serve

Remove the quesadillas from the skillet and let them cool for a minute. Slice into wedges and serve with your favorite salsa or guacamole.
