1 Skillet Large for cooking chicken and assembling quesadillas

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

1 tbsp oil for sautéing the chicken
1 lb chicken breast cut into small pieces
1 tbsp taco seasoning
1/2 large bell pepper diced, any color
1/2 yellow onion diced
2 tbsp unsalted butter
6 flour tortillas
2 cups Mexican cheese

Instructions

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add chicken pieces and taco seasoning. Cook until chicken is no longer pink, about 6–8 minutes.
Add bell pepper and onion. Sauté for 4–5 minutes until tender. Set aside.
In a clean skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add one tortilla.
Top with cheese, cooked chicken mixture, more cheese, and another tortilla.
Cook 2–3 minutes per side until golden and cheese melted. Repeat for remaining quesadillas. Cut and serve warm.

Notes

Enjoy with salsa, sour cream or guacamole. Leftovers can be reheated in a skillet to retain crispiness.
