Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

4 large flour tortillas

1/2 cup diced bell peppers (choose a mix of red, green, or yellow)

1/4 cup diced red onion

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

4 tablespoons olive oil, divided

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Sour cream and salsa for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, diced bell peppers, diced red onion, garlic powder, chili powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and evenly coated with spices.

    Assemble the Quesadillas: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, place one flour tortilla flat in the skillet. Evenly spread one-quarter of the chicken mixture over one half of the tortilla. Carefully fold the tortilla in half, pressing down gently to secure the filling.

      Cook the Quesadilla: Allow the quesadilla to cook for approximately 3-4 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy. Using a spatula, carefully flip the quesadilla over. If necessary, add another tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the second side is golden and the cheese is melted and gooey. Repeat this assembly and cooking process with the remaining tortillas and filling.

        Cut into Wedges: After all quesadillas are cooked to perfection, remove them from the skillet and let them rest for about one minute. Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, slice each quesadilla into wedges, typically 4-6 pieces per quesadilla.

          Serve: Display the crispy chicken quesadilla wedges neatly on a serving platter. If desired, sprinkle with fresh chopped cilantro for a burst of color and flavor. Serve immediately with a side of creamy sour cream and zesty salsa for dipping.
