Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook onions 2-3 minutes or until softened. Add bell peppers and cook an additional 2-3 minutes.

Step 2

Stir in chicken, seasoning and ¼ cup water. Simmer 3-4 minutes or until most of the liquid has evaporated.

Step 3

Lay out the tortillas and sprinkle with ½ cup cheese on one half of the tortilla. Add ¼ of the chicken mixture. Fold half of the tortilla over the filling. Brush the outside of each tortilla with olive oil.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat (or a griddle). Lightly brown each quesadillas 3-4 minutes per side or until golden and cheese is melted.

Step 5

Cool 2-3 minutes and cut each tortilla into 3 pieces.
