ingredients
- 1 large chicken breast
- 1 bell pepper red
- 1/2 red onion
- 1/2 cup cheddar and orange cheese
- 1 tsp taco seasoning I always use it instead of my gyro seasoning
- 2 pieces tortillas
- Kosher salt for taste
- Fresh ground pepper for taste
Method
Step 1
Measure and prepare all the ingredients so you don’t waste time, for example, on grating cheese. If you have a block of cheese, grate it on a grater with large holes. If you have grated cheese, you are lucky because you don’t have to do this. I like to grate the cheese because I am sure there is no added starch.
Step 2
Wash the chicken breasts and pat them dry with a paper towel. Cut into strips about 2 inches (5 cm) long and ½ inches (1 cm) wide.
Step 3
Then, cut the onion into thin strips about ¼ inch (½ cm).
Step 4
Once we have all the ingredients prepared, let’s start the adventure with this incredibly great recipe. Heat the pan well on medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and fry the onion and pepper until soft. This will take about 2-5 minutes. Once the vegetables are ready, remove them to a plate. Next, fry the chicken pieces in the same pan.
Step 5
Then, mix the chopped chicken pieces well with the seasoning. Add another spoonful of olive oil; when it is very hot, add the chicken pieces and fry for about 3-5 minutes. This will work if the pan is well heated and the oil is very hot so the chicken is golden brown and still juicy.
Step 6
The next step is to assemble our easy Chicken Quesadilla recipe from the parts. Place a large pan enough for the tortillas to fit. My ideal pan for frying crepes is a cast-iron skillet, but any large skillet will be fine. This is a measure for two tortillas, so divide all the ingredients in half. On half of the tortilla, place cheeses in two colors.
Step 7
In the next step, we arrange pieces of chicken and vegetables. Sprinkle with the rest of the cheese to cover our center on both sides I love how this cheese stretches!
Step 8
We cover the center with the other half of the tortilla and fold the tortilla to the other side so that our quesadilla is evenly browned. After 2-3 minutes (when the cheese starts leaking), remove it to a board and repeat the steps with the second tortilla.
Step 9
Then, cut the tortilla moon into 3 parts (you can use a sharp knife or pizza cutter for this) Serve with your favorite sauces, such as Salsa Roja or Quesadilla Sauce (Taco Bell). An interesting addition is homemade pico de gallo, which perfectly fulfills the role of a salad for the rest of the dish. Enjoy!
