Easy chicken quesadilla recipe with crispy tortillas, chopped vegetables and lots of cheese! Come see my tips and tricks making this recipe THE BEST!

Perfect Chicken Quesadilla Recipe

vegetable oil

chicken (, cooked finely chopped)

chili powder (, divided)

bell pepper

flour tortillas

Cheddar, Pepper Jack or Monterey Cheese (,freshly shredded)

salsa (Optional)

jalapenos (Optional)

sour cream (Optional)

guacamole (Optional)

Make sure the cooked 1 cup chicken is diced super fine. Heat 1-2 teaspoons of the oil in a large skillet. Add the cooked chicken and 1/2 teaspoon of the chili powder. Toss to heat and coat in the spices, approximately 1-2 minutes. Remove from the skillet to a plate or bowl.

In same skillet, add the chopped 1/2 cup red and green bell pepper and 1/3 cup red onion, along with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder and 1/4  teaspoon  ground cumin . Saute and stir until they are soft and fragrant, but still have some shape. Remove to the same plate/bowl as the chicken and toss. Using a spatula (or just eyeballing) divide the mixture into fourths.

Add 1-2 teaspoons of the vegetable oil to same skillet (no need to wipe it out) over medium heat. Add one tortilla, sprinkling with 1/4 cup of the shredded 1 cup Cheddar, Pepper Jack or Monterey Cheese, then a quarter of the quesadilla filling on only one half of the tortilla. Flip the other side over to sandwich it. Allow the first side to brown for 1-2 minutes until golden, but not crunchy. Flip and repeat on the other side. Remove the quesadilla to a cutting board.

Repeat with the remaining tortillas, cheese and fillings.

Using a sift, sharp motion, cut each into quarters. Serve with desired dips or toppings including salsa, guacamole, jalapenos or sour cream.
