Chicken Quesadilla

Ingredients

1 pound precooked chicken

1 chopped white onion

1 chopped green bell pepper

1 tablespoon room temperature butter

¼ cup shredded Mexican cheese

2 tortillas

Spoonful salsa (optional)

Directions

  1. Heat a skillet on medium heat.
  2. Spread butter on 1 side of tortilla.
  3. Place the tortilla face down in the skillet.
  4. Evenly spread the shredded cheese on one side of the tortilla in the pan.
  5. Add some of the chicken, onion, and green bell pepper to the tortilla on top of the cheese.
  6. Once the bottom of the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted, fold it in half.
  7. Slide the quesadilla onto a plate and cut into sections.
  8. Enjoy with salsa or some of your other favorite toppings.

1. Vegetarian shout-out—sub in black beans for chicken for a meatless version of these cheesy quesadillas.
2. Want to beef these quesadillas up? Try using cooked steak instead of chicken. Beef generally contains more calories and fat.
