Cheesy Chicken Quesadillas – A Quick and Flavorful Favorite

Instructions for Making Cheesy Chicken Quesadillas

Step 1: Season the Chicken

1. If using cooked chicken, shred or dice it into small pieces and place it in a mixing bowl.
2. Add the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss the chicken with the spices to coat evenly.

Step 2: Prepare the Filling

1. In a separate bowl, combine the shredded cheese, bell pepper, and red onion.
2. Mix well to evenly distribute the cheese and vegetables.

Step 3: Assemble the Quesadillas

1. Lay out the flour tortillas on a flat surface.
2. On one half of each tortilla, layer a portion of the seasoned chicken and top it with the cheese and vegetable mixture.
3. Fold the tortilla over the filling to create a half-moon shape.

Step 4: Cook the Quesadillas

1. Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Place the folded quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden and crispy, and the cheese is fully melted.
3. Repeat with the remaining quesadillas, adding more oil or butter if needed.

Step 5: Slice and Serve

1. Allow the quesadillas to cool for a minute, then slice each one into wedges.
2. Serve warm with sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro if desired.
