Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 0.5 cup red bell pepper, diced
- 0.5 cup green onion, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup salsa
- 0.5 cup guacamole
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Place one tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over one half of the tortilla.
Add 1/4 cup of shredded chicken, a tablespoon of diced red bell pepper, and a tablespoon of sliced green onion on top of the cheese.
Fold the tortilla in half to cover the filling, creating a semi-circle shape.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until golden brown and crispy. Flip and cook for 2 more minutes on the other side.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling ingredients, adding more olive oil to the skillet as needed.
Transfer the cooked quesadillas to a cutting board and let them cool slightly. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice each quesadilla into wedges.
Serve the quesadillas warm with sour cream, salsa, and guacamole on the side for dipping.
