A simple recipe for Chicken Quesadillas that will still knock your socks off. Chicken, red onion, bell peppers, cheese and cilantro are a fantastic mix!
Combine the bell peppers, red onion, cilantro, cooked chicken and cheese in a large bowl.
Heat a skillet and spray with cooking spray.
Divide mixture into 4, and spread 1/4 on each tortilla, folding the top over in half.
Cook until cheese begins to melt, then flip quesadilla.
Remove from skillet, slice into 3 or 4, and serve.
Repeat until you run out of tortillas and ingredients.
Devour.
Notes
You can make these differently to me. Simply add a tortilla to the skillet, spread with the filling and top with another tortilla, instead of folding over.You can also cook these in the oven. Just lay out the tortillas on a baking sheet, and the chicken mixture, and top with more tortillas. Bake until the cheese is melted, and the quesadillas are golden brown.Substitutions/AdditionsYou can use any kind of tortilla. I like using the spinach kind, as well as the sundried tomato kind!Like it spicy? Add some chopped jalapeños to the mix!What can you put in a quesadilla?Anything your heart desires! Add some corn, black beans and a little salsa. Add mushrooms, or don't! I like to sometimes add a little taco seasoning, or chili powder and cumin to mine as well.What kind of cheese goes best in quesadillas?I like the Mexican blend cheeses you can buy pre shredded at the grocery store. But a mix of mozzarella and jack (Monterey jack or pepper jack) will do well, and so will cheddar cheese.What to serve with quesadillasI like to sprinkle a little extra cilantro, a dash of hot sauce and a little sour cream.Other yummy things to add are homemade pico de gallo and guacamole.
