Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked chicken shredded or diced
  • 8 large flour tortillas 10-inch
  • 3 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • 1/2 cup diced bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil divided
  • Sour cream salsa, and guacamole for serving

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, combine shredded chicken, bell pepper, red onion, chili powder, and cumin. Mix well to combine.
  2. Heat 1/2 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place one tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle with 1/4 cup cheese.
  3. Add about 1/2 cup of the chicken mixture over half of the tortilla, then top with another 1/4 cup cheese. Fold the tortilla in half to create a half-moon shape.
  4. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cheese is melted. Transfer to a cutting board and repeat with remaining tortillas and filling, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
  5. Let quesadillas rest for 1 minute, then cut each into 3 wedges. Serve immediately with sour cream, salsa, and guacamole.
