Serves/Makes: 8 | Ready In: < 30 minutes
Ingredients:
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
1 cup minced red onion
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 cups cooked chicken breast
1 can (14.5 ounce size) diced tomatoes, drained
1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
8 flour tortillas (8-inch size)
3/4 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese
Directions:
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bell pepper and onion. Cook, stirring frequently, for 3-4 minutes or until the onion is soft.
Stir in the cumin, cooked chicken, and diced tomato. Cook, stirring frequently, for 3 minutes. Add the cilantro, salt, and pepper.
To assemble the quesadillas, place about 1/2 cup of the chicken mixture on one half of each tortilla. Sprinkle with the cheese. Fold the tortilla in half and press lightly.
Heat a ungreased nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the quesadillas in batches and cook until browned on one side. Carefully flip the quesadillas over and cook on the other side until browned and the cheese is melted. Repeat with remaining filled tortillas.
Serve with salsa and/or sour cream for dipping.
This can also be made in a sandwich grill or other contact grill.
