Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 cup cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- 4 large tortillas
- 1 cup diced bell peppers
- 1 cup diced onions
Instructions
- Preheat the skillet over medium heat.
- Mix the ground chicken with diced bell peppers and onions in a large bowl until well combined.
- Cook the mixture in the skillet, breaking it apart, until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender (about 5-7 minutes).
- Assemble the quesadilla by placing a portion of the chicken mixture on half of a tortilla, topping it with cheese, and folding it over.
- Cook the folded quesadilla in the skillet for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Serve warm, cut into wedges, and enjoy.
Notes
Ground chicken is leaner and can be substituted with ground turkey. Use freshly grated cheese for better melting.
