Ingredients

  • oil
    1 tbsp
  • chicken breast

    cut into small pieces

    1 lb
  • taco seasoning
    1 tbsp
  • bell pepper

    any color

    ½ large
  • yellow onion
    ½
  • unsalted butter
    2 tbsp
  • flour tortillas
    6
  • Mexican cheese
    2 c

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat a skillet with 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the small pieces of chicken breast along with 1 tablespoon of taco seasoning. Cook the chicken for about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.

  2. 2

    Add the diced bell pepper and yellow onion to the skillet with the chicken. Cook for another 5 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are slightly caramelized, developing color and softness. Remove the mixture from the heat and set aside.

  3. 3

    On a clean skillet, melt a small amount of butter or add a bit of oil over medium heat. Place one flour tortilla on the skillet.

  4. 4

    Sprinkle a layer of Mexican cheese on one half of the tortilla, then add a portion of the chicken and vegetable mixture on top. Add more cheese over the chicken mixture for extra meltiness, then fold the tortilla over to cover the filling.

  5. 5

    Cook the folded tortilla for a few minutes until the bottom side turns golden brown. Flip carefully and cook the other side until golden brown and the cheese is melted inside. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.

  6. 6

    Repeat the assembly and cooking process with the remaining tortillas and filling. Serve the quesadillas warm for the best flavor and texture.
