instructions
    1

    Start by finely chopping the onion and bell pepper.

    2

    Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat for about 2 minutes.

    3

    Add the chopped onion and bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes until they are soft.

    4

    While the veggies are cooking, slice the sausage into small pieces and add it to the skillet, cooking for an additional 5-7 minutes until browned.

    5

    Once the sausage is cooked, sprinkle in the spices and stir well to combine.

    6

    In another skillet, place one tortilla on medium heat for 1-2 minutes until warm.

    7

    Evenly spread half of the cooked sausage mixture onto the tortilla and top with half of the cheese.

    8

    Cover with the second tortilla and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the bottom tortilla is golden brown.

    9

    Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and both sides are golden.

    10

    Remove from heat, let it cool for a minute, then cut into wedges to serve.
