Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 1 8-10" flour tortilla
- 1 teaspoon butter
- ½ cup shredded pepper jack, Monterey Jack, or Mexican blend cheese
- ¼ cup cooked chicken chopped or thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons sauteed bell peppers thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon sauteed yellow onion thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon fresh cilantro chopped
Instructions
- Preheat a large non-stick skillet to medium heat. Lightly butter one side of the tortilla with ½ teaspoon of butter and place the tortilla butter side down in the hot pan.
- Sprinkle about half the cheese over the tortilla and top with the cooked chicken, bell peppers, and onions. Top with the remaining cheese and sprinkle with cilantro.
- Fold the tortilla over on itself and let cook for 2-3 minutes, until the cheese has begun to melt and the bottom tortilla is golden brown.
- Carefully flip the folded quesadilla over to cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes. After the quesadilla is golden brown on both sides, use a spatula to transfer it to a cutting board. Slice it into wedges and serve warm.
