Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup bell peppers, sliced
- 1/2 cup onion, sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon taco seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Sour cream and salsa for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Sauté the sliced onion and bell peppers until tender, about 5 minutes.
- Add Chicken: Stir in the shredded chicken, taco seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
- Assemble Quesadillas: Lay one tortilla flat and sprinkle half with cheese, followed by the chicken mixture, and then top with more cheese. Fold the tortilla in half.
- Cook: In the same skillet, cook the quesadilla over medium heat for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
- Serve: Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve with sour cream and salsa.
