Ingredients
- 6 flour tortillas
- 2 cups Mexican cheese
- 1 lb chicken breast cut into small pieces
- 1 tbsp oil
- 1/2 large bell pepper diced, any color
- 1/2 yellow onion diced
- 1 tbsp taco seasoning
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
Instructions
- Preheat a skillet with oil on medium heat. Add in the chicken and taco seasoning. Cook for 4 minutes.
- Add in the bell pepper and onion, cook for another 5 minutes or until chicken and veggies gain color and are cooked through. Set aside.
- On a clean skillet, add a bit of butter or oil and place a tortilla on top. On half of the tortilla add cheese, the chicken mixture, and cover with more cheese. Fold the tortilla over to close.
- Once the tortilla is golden on one side, flip it over and cook for a few more minutes until the second side is also golden. Make sure that the cheese has melted. Repeat with the rest of quesadillas.
- Serve while the quesadillas are still warm!
