Easy Chicken Quesadilla Recipe

Step 1

Add the Colby Jack cheese and sharp cheddar cheese to a medium bowl, and mix to combine.

Step 2

Find a frying pan large enough to fit a large flour tortilla flat on the pan (alternatively, you could use smaller flour tortillas).

Step 3

Place the pan over medium heat, and when the pan is hot, add a tsp of butter to the frying pan, spreading the melted butter on the pan.

Step 4

Place the flour tortilla flat on the pan so one side of the tortilla is in contact with the buttered pan.

Step 5

Add ½ cup of shredded or chopped chicken to the flour tortilla and then add half of the cheese mixture over the chicken.

Step 6

Add half of the peppers, tomatoes, and onion on top of the cheese.

Step 7

Fold the tortilla in half and cook on each side for 2 minutes, allowing for the cheese to melt and all ingredients to cook together.*Be careful not to let the quesadilla burn. If the pan is too hot, remove it from the heat for one minute, then return it to the heat. You want the tortilla browned but not burnt.

Step 8

Repeat the steps to complete the second quesadilla.Tent the first chicken quesadilla with aluminum foil to keep it warm (or in a 200 degree oven) until both are ready to serve.

Step 9

Plate and serve with your favorite sides and quesadilla dipping sauces.
