ขั้นตอนทั้งหมด

1. 1

   In a medium bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken with diced bell pepper, diced onion, cumin powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly seasoned.

2. 2

   Heat half of the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

3. 3

   Place one flour tortilla in the skillet. Sprinkle half of one side of the tortilla with about a quarter of the shredded cheese, then spread half of the chicken mixture over the cheese.

4. 4

   Sprinkle another quarter of the cheese over the chicken mixture. Fold the other half of the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.

5. 5

   Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove from skillet and set aside.

6. 6

   Repeat the process with the remaining olive oil, tortilla, chicken mixture, and cheese to make the second quesadilla.

7. 7

   Once both quesadillas are cooked, slice each into 2-3 pieces and serve immediately with your favorite toppings like salsa, sour cream, or guacamole (optional).
