Instructions

Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, diced bell peppers, red onion, cilantro, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.

Assemble the Quesadillas: Lay out the flour tortillas on a flat surface. Sprinkle a layer of shredded cheddar cheese on half of each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges. Spoon the prepared filling mixture evenly over the cheese.
-
Fold the Quesadillas: Fold the tortillas in half over the filling, pressing gently to seal the edges.

Cook the Quesadillas: In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of cooking oil over medium heat. Carefully place the assembled quesadillas in the skillet, working in batches if necessary. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.

Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked, remove the quesadillas from the skillet and place them on a cutting board. Allow them to cool for a minute before slicing them into wedges. Serve your delicious Quesadillas with sour cream, salsa, guacamole, or your favorite dipping sauces.
