Easy Chicken Quesadillas Quick and Tasty Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 small red bell pepper, diced
- 1 small green bell pepper, diced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, diced red and green bell peppers, chopped onion, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Place one tortilla in the skillet and evenly spread half of the chicken mixture on half of the tortilla. Top with half of the cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
- Fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape and press down gently.
- Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, or until golden brown and the cheese starts to melt. Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side.
- Repeat the process for the second tortilla using the remaining chicken mixture and cheese, adding more olive oil to the skillet if necessary.
- Once cooked, remove the quesadillas from the skillet and let them cool for a minute before slicing them into wedges.
- Serve with fresh cilantro, sour cream, and salsa on the side for dipping.
