Ingredients
  

  • 2 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup cooked and shredded chicken
  • 1 cup shredded cheese cheddar or Monterey Jack work well
  • 1/4 cup diced onion
  • 1/4 cup diced bell pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: sour cream salsa, guacamole

Instructions
 

  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
  • Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
  • Add the shredded chicken to the skillet and stir to combine with the vegetables. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the chicken is heated through.
  • Lay one of the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese evenly over the tortilla.
  • Spoon the chicken and vegetable mixture on top of the cheese, spreading it evenly over the tortilla.
  • Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of the chicken mixture.
  • Place the second flour tortilla on top of the cheese, pressing down gently to adhere.
  • Carefully transfer the quesadilla to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is golden brown.
  • Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for a minute or two.
  • Cut the quesadilla into wedges and serve with sour cream, salsa, and/or guacamole, if desired.
