Indulge in the delightful flavors of Mexico with these delicious quesadillas—perfect for a cozy dinner tonight!

1

Begin by cooking the chicken. In a pot, boil the chicken for about 15 minutes until fully cooked. Remove from water and let it cool.

2

While the chicken cools, finely chop the onion and bell pepper.

3

In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper, and sauté for about 5 minutes until they are tender.

4

Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, shred it using two forks.

5

Add the shredded chicken into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Sprinkle cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix everything well and sauté for an additional 5 minutes.

6

Lay a tortilla flat and place a generous amount of the chicken mixture on one half. Sprinkle cheese on top of the mixture and fold the tortilla over.

7

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the folded quesadilla in the skillet, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

8

Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas. Once done, cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve hot.

• Add diced jalapeños for a spicy kick.
• Incorporate black beans for added protein and fiber.
• Try using different types of cheese, like pepper jack or a blend of Mexican cheeses.

• Ensure the skillet is hot enough before adding quesadillas to get that golden crisp.
• Don't overfill your quesadilla to avoid spilling while cooking.
• Let the cooked quesadillas rest for a minute before cutting to help them hold their shape.
