Ingredients

8 flour tortillas

300g cooked chicken breast, shredded

2 cups grated cheddar or mozzarella cheese

1 medium onion, finely chopped

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 tbsp cooking oil

1 tsp paprika

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp ground black pepper

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 cup salsa, for serving

1/2 cup sour cream, for serving

1/2 cup guacamole, optional

Directions

  1. Heat the cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté the onion and bell pepper for 2–3 minutes until slightly softened.
  2. Add the shredded chicken, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir well and cook for another 2–3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  3. Place one flour tortilla on a clean surface. Spread some of the chicken mixture over half of the tortilla and sprinkle generously with grated cheese.
  4. Fold the tortilla in half to cover the filling. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
  5. Heat a clean non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook each quesadilla for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy and the cheese has melted.
  6. Remove from the pan and allow to cool for 1–2 minutes. Cut each quesadilla into wedges.
  7. Serve hot with salsa, sour cream, and guacamole if desired. Enjoy your cheesy and delicious Quesadillas!
