This is a quick and delicious recipe for chicken and cheese quesadillas, perfect for a fast and tasty meal!

Ingredients:

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 4 flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, or your favorite cheese)
  • 1/2 onion, chopped
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, chopped (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Salsa or guacamole (optional, for serving)

Instructions:

  1. Cook the chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Cook them in a pan with a little olive oil over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Then, shred the chicken with a fork.
  2. Prepare the vegetables: In the same pan, add the chopped onion and red bell pepper (if using), and sauté them for 2-3 minutes until softened.
  3. Prepare the quesadillas: Place a tortilla in a pan over medium heat. On one half of the tortilla, add some shredded chicken, sautéed vegetables, and a generous amount of shredded cheese. Then, fold the tortilla in half.
  4. Cook the quesadillas: Cook the quesadilla for 2-3 minutes on each side, pressing down lightly to melt the cheese and crisp up the tortilla.
  5. Serve: Once the quesadillas are golden and the cheese is melted, cut them into triangles and serve with salsa or guacamole.

Optional:

You can add sour cream or fresh cilantro for an extra touch.
