Cheesy Chicken Quesadillas Recipe

 

Ingredients:

  • For the Quesadillas:
    • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
    • 1 cup green bell pepper, diced
    • 1 cup onion, diced
    • 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
    • 8 flour tortillas
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 1 teaspoon cumin
    • 1 teaspoon chili powder
    • Salt and pepper to taste
  • For the Garnish:
    • Sour cream
    • Salsa
    • Guacamole

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Filling:
    • In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
    • Add the diced onion and bell pepper, and cook until they are softened and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
    • Add the shredded chicken to the skillet, along with cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat the chicken through.
    • Remove the skillet from heat and set the filling aside.
  2. Assemble the Quesadillas:
    • Lay out the flour tortillas on a flat surface.
    • Evenly distribute the chicken and vegetable mixture over half of each tortilla.
    • Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese over the chicken mixture.
    • Fold the tortillas in half, pressing down gently to seal them.
  3. Cook the Quesadillas:
    • In a large skillet or griddle, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
    • Place the folded tortillas in the skillet (you may need to do this in batches depending on the size of your skillet).
    • Cook each quesadilla for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
    • Remove the quesadillas from the skillet and place them on a wire rack to cool slightly. This will help keep them crispy.
  4. Serve:
    • Cut the quesadillas into wedges.
    • Serve with sour cream, salsa, and guacamole on the side for dipping.

These Cheesy Chicken Quesadillas are perfect for a quick and delicious meal. The combination of tender chicken, flavorful vegetables, and melted cheese makes them a hit with both kids and adults. Enjoy them hot off the skillet with your favorite toppings!
