- 2 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
- 1/2 cup cooked chicken, shredded (optional)
- 1/4 cup green peppers, diced
- 1/4 cup onions, diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Sour cream, salsa, and guacamole for serving
Sauté onions and green peppers in olive oil over medium heat until they’re soft. Add the cooked chicken, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and mix well. This adds flavor to your quesadillas.
Place a tortilla on a plate and sprinkle half of the cheese on one half of the tortilla. Add half of the chicken and vegetable mixture, then fold the tortilla over. Repeat with the second tortilla.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Place a quesadilla in the pan and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the cheese has melted. Repeat with the second quesadilla.
Let the quesadillas cool for a minute before cutting into wedges. Serve with sour cream, salsa, and guacamole for dipping. Enjoy the gooey, melty goodness!
