Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp. Extra-virgin olive oils dilled
  • 1 Red bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 1/2 Yellow onion thinly cut lengthwise
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 lb. Chicken breasts that are boneless and skinless. Cut into strips
  • 1 tsp. chili powder
  • 1 tsp. Ground cumin
  • 2 c. Monterey Jack shredded
  • 2 c. shredded cheddar
  • 4 medium flour tortillas
  • 1 Thinly slice green onion
  • 1/4 c. sour cream for dipping

Method
 

  1. Step 1 Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet on medium heat. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until soft, 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  2. Step 2 Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in the same pan on medium heat. Season the chicken with cumin, chili powder, and cumin. Stirring occasionally, cook chicken until it is fully cooked and no pink remains. Place on a plate and garnish with peppers and onions.
  3. Step 3Add 1/4 cup each cheese to one side, then add your flour tortilla. Add the other half of the tortilla to the cheese. Sprinkle with more cheese, chicken, peppers and onions. Flip the other tortilla and cook until the cheese is melted. To the other side of your pan, add 1/4 cup of cheeses. Then flip the quesadilla over so that the cheese-crusted side faces up and the cheese melting side down. Once all the cheese has melted, take out of the skillet and cut into wedges. Continue with the remaining ingredients. Serve with sour cream and garnish with green onions.
