Ingredients:
– 2 large flour tortillas
– 1 cup cooked and shredded chicken (preferably seasoned)
– 1/2 cup bell peppers (red, green, and yellow), thinly sliced
– 1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
– 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
– 1/4 cup crumbled queso fresco (optional)
– 1/4 cup corn kernels (optional)
– 1 avocado, sliced
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1 teaspoon chili powder
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Sour cream and salsa, for serving
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Chicken and Vegetables:
– In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the spices.
– Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the bell peppers and red onion, and sauté until they are soft and slightly caramelized (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside.
2. Assemble the Quesadilla:
– Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Sprinkle an even layer of shredded cheese over the entire tortilla.
– Add the seasoned chicken, sautéed vegetables, corn kernels (if using), and a sprinkle of queso fresco.
– Add avocado slices evenly on top of the filling. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro.
– Top with another layer of shredded cheese. Place the second tortilla on top to cover the filling.
3. Cook the Quesadilla:
– Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully transfer the assembled quesadilla to the skillet.
– Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted inside.
– Press down lightly with a spatula to help the quesadilla hold together as the cheese melts.
4. Serving:
– Once fully cooked, transfer the quesadilla to a cutting board and allow it to cool slightly. Cut the quesadilla into wedges.
– Serve warm, with sour cream and salsa on the side for dipping.
Enjoy the Quivut Quesadilla Supreme!
