Ingredients

• 4 pieces Flour tortillas
• 2 cups Shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a mix)
• 1 cup Cooked chicken, diced (optional)
• 0.5 cup Bell pepper, diced (optional)
• 0.25 cup Onion, finely chopped (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil or butter
• 0.5 cup Salsa (optional, for serving)
• 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Warm a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.

Step 2

Brush one side of each tortilla lightly with olive oil or melted butter.

Step 3

Place one tortilla on the hot skillet, oiled side down.

Step 4

Evenly sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheese over half the tortilla. If using, add a layer of cooked chicken, diced bell peppers, and onions on top of the cheese.

Step 5

Fold the tortilla in half to cover the filling.

Step 6

Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown and crispy, then carefully flip with a spatula. Cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is golden.

Step 7

Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and place it on a cutting board. Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas and fillings.

Step 8

Slice each quesadilla into wedges and serve warm with salsa and sour cream on the side, if desired.
