Instructions

Step 1/5

Season and Cook Chicken

  • 1 tsp Olive Oil
  • 1/4 tsp Chili Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Cumin
  • 1/2 tsp Paprika
  • 150g Chicken Breast

In a small bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Season the sliced chicken breast with the spice mixture.

Step 2/5

Cook Chicken and Vegetables

  • 1 tsp Olive Oil
  • 1/2 Red Bell Pepper
  • 1/2 Small Onion
  • 1 Clove Garlic

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly coat it with olive oil. Add the seasoned chicken slices to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add thinly sliced bell pepper and onion. Cook until softened and slightly charred, about 3-4 minutes. Add in minced garlic and cook for another minute or so until fragrant. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3/5

Assemble Quesadilla

  • 1 Large Flour Tortilla
  • 15g Mozzarella
  • 15g Moneterey Jack

Place one flour tortilla in the skillet. Shred your cheese block yourself and layer half of the shredded cheese on one half of the tortilla. Arrange the cooked chicken slices, bell pepper, and onion on top of the cheese. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the chicken and vegetables.

Step 4/5

Cook Quesadilla

Fold the empty half of the tortilla over the filling to form a half-moon shape. Press down gently with a spatula and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is crispy and golden brown, and the cheese is melted.

Step 5/5

Serve

Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for a minute before slicing into wedges. Serve hot.
