Chicken Quesadillas
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breasts cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup diced bell pepper any color
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1 medium jalapeno diced (optional)
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- 2 cups shredded melting cheese such as Monterey Jack or Cheddar
- 4 medium flour tortillas
Instructions
- In a large pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add the bite-sized chicken pieces and taco seasoning, sautéing for 4-5 minutes.
- To the chicken, add bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Continue to sauté for another 5 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, place a tortilla and sprinkle a layer of cheese, then add 1/4 of the chicken mixture, and top with another layer of cheese. Fold the tortilla in half.
- Cook the quesadilla on both sides until crispy and the cheese is melted. Remove from the pan and repeat with the remaining tortillas.
- Cut the quesadillas into halves or thirds and serve with your choice of sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.
