Chicken Quesadillas

Quesadillas is as delightful as a Burrito but less filling in the tummy, which means you can eat more than one serving! It involves uncomplicated cooking procedure and requires basic kitchen ingredients. All you need to do is just get up and make em’! 🙂

Ingredients:

• 4 chicken breast fillet (cut into strips)
• 12 small flour tortillas
• 2 cups grated cheese (best to use Monterey Jack)
• 1 pack taco seasoning
• 1 large white onion cut to thin slices
• 2 red peppers sliced to strips (green or yellow pepper is also good – you can mix for more color)
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• slice of butter (for toasting the tortilla)
• cilantro for garnish

Easy Steps:

• pat dry chicken fillet strips and season with salt, pepper and taco seasoning. (save about a teaspoon of taco seasoning for later). Leave it for about 5-10 minutes to let the chicken absorb all the flavor.

• Heat 2-3 tbsp of olive oil in a pan over medium to high heat. Fry flavored chicken strips making sure both sides are well cooked. Make sure not to overcook as chicken meat will harden and dry out. When done cooking all the chicken, cut into bite sizes or cubes. Set aside.

• Using the same pan, add a tbsp of olive oil and throw in all the sliced onion and red pepper. Add the remaining 1 tsp taco seasoning. Saute for just enough time to retain a bit of crunchiness. Take out from the pan and set aside.
