INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Prepare the Chicken Filling:

    • In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken, shredded cheese, diced bell peppers, diced red onion, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure even distribution of flavors.

    Assemble the Quesadillas:

    • Lay out two tortillas on a clean surface.

    • Divide the chicken filling evenly and spread it over one half of each tortilla.

    Fold and Cook:

    • Fold the tortillas in half, creating a semi-circle shape, pressing gently to seal the edges.

    • Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray or oil.

    • Place the folded quesadillas on the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and the cheese is melted.

    Serve and Enjoy:

    • Once cooked, transfer the quesadillas to a cutting board and let them rest for a minute.

    • Use a sharp knife to cut each quesadilla into wedges.

    • Serve hot with your favorite toppings such as salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
