Ingredients

4 servings

4 large flour tortillas
1 tbsp olive oil (plus extra as needed)
1 small bell pepper (red or green)
⅓ cup finely diced onion
1 ½ cups cooked shredded chicken (or chopped chicken)
1 oz taco seasoning (1 packet, or fajita seasoning)
2 cups shredded Monterey jack cheese (or shredded Mexican cheese blend)

Instructions

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook onions 2-3 minutes or until softened. Add bell peppers and cook an additional 2-3 minutes.
Stir in chicken, seasoning and ¼ cup water. Simmer 3-4 minutes or until most of the liquid has evaporated.
Lay out the tortillas and sprinkle with ½ cup cheese on one half of the tortilla. Add ¼ of the chicken mixture. Fold half of the tortilla over the filling. Brush the outside of each tortilla with olive oil.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat (or a griddle). Lightly brown each quesadillas 3-4 minutes per side or until golden and cheese is melted.
Cool 2-3 minutes and cut each tortilla into 3 pieces.
