Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cooked chicken shredded
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers any color
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 small flour tortillas
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Sour cream and salsa for serving

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, bell peppers, red onion, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil.
  3. Place one tortilla in the skillet and spoon about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture onto one half of the tortilla.
  4. Fold the tortilla over to cover the filling and cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown.
  5. Carefully flip the quesadilla and add another 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet if needed. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the other side is golden and the cheese is melted.
  6. Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for a minute before cutting it into wedges.
  7. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
  8. Serve warm with sour cream and salsa on the side.
