Equipment
- Skillet
Ingredients
- 6 pieces 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
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the oil. Introduce the chicken and taco seasoning, cooking for about 4 minutes.
- Incorporate the diced bell pepper and onion, continuing to cook for an additional 5 minutes or until chicken and vegetables develop a lovely color. Set aside once finished.
- In a clean skillet, melt a small amount of butter and lay a tortilla down. On one half, sprinkle cheese, add the chicken mixture, and top with more cheese. Fold the tortilla over to seal.
- Cook until the bottom side is golden brown, then flip it and repeat on the other side until it's also golden and the cheese is melted. Repeat these steps for the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Serve the quesadillas hot, allowing everyone to enjoy them while they’re still warm!
