Chicken Quesadilla Recipe

A Home Recipe Worth Restaurants: Cheesy Chicken Quesadillas

These quesadillas are popping with flavor! For a hearty and easy supper, combine melting cheese and colorful bell peppers with delicious chicken marinated in Mexican spices.

In any case, just what is a quesadilla?

Classics of Mexican cuisine include quesadillas. All it is, is a flour tortilla or other flatbread packed with cheese and often other delicious things like meat and veggies. They cook beautifully crispy outside and melty inside on a griddle or stovetop. To make “half quesadillas,” stuff one tortilla and fold it in half.

Making Chicken Quesadilla Magic

Fear not, the whole recipe with detailed instructions is going to load. Let us first, however, get you ready.

The elements of mouthwatering chicken quesadillas:

• Chicken: This recipe calls for one pound of skinless, boneless, sliced into bite-sized pieces chicken breasts.
• Liven It Up! Although fajita seasoning is a great quick cut, you may also prepare your own spice blend.
• Veggie Power: A splash of color from green and red bell peppers will provide some depth of flavor, as would an onion.
• 10 wheat tortillas will make 10 quesadillas. Choose between tortillas prepared by hand and those from the shop.
• Cheese Fiesta: Shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese work their melting magic in these quesadillas.
• A heartier quesadilla has a smoky, salty twist from crumbled bacon. It’s excellent without it, however!
