Step-by-Step Instructions for Chicken Quesadilla
- In a small bowl, combine chili powder, kosher salt, and garlic powder, ensuring an even blend.
- Take your cooked diced or shredded chicken and coat it with half of the spice mix you prepared earlier.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and drizzle in extra-virgin olive oil. Add diced yellow onion and bell peppers, sprinkling with the remaining spice mix. Sauté for about 6 to 8 minutes until the vegetables are soft and vibrant.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed vegetables with the seasoned chicken. Gently fold the mixture to distribute the flavors evenly.
- Grab a whole wheat tortilla and lay it flat on a clean surface. On one half, layer a generous handful of cheese followed by the chicken and vegetable mixture. Top it with a sprinkle of additional cheese before folding the tortilla over.
- In your skillet over medium heat, add a little oil or butter. Place the folded quesadilla in the skillet and cook for about 4 minutes on each side.
- Once cooked, remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it rest briefly. Slice into wedges and arrange them on a plate.

Notes
Use precooked chicken to significantly reduce preparation time. Ensure the skillet is adequately heated before cooking for crispy exterior.
