These 5-ingredient quesadillas take just 10 minutes to make. Using pre-sliced onions and peppers plus a taco seasoning blend helps keep the ingredient list (and prep time) short. If you like a little heat, use pepper Jack cheese in the filling.
Ingredient
-
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
-
1/2 cup sliced bell peppers and onions, coarsely chopped
-
4 ounces shredded cooked chicken
-
1 teaspoon reduced-sodium taco seasoning
-
2 (8-inch) whole-wheat tortillas
-
1/2 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
Direction
- Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add peppers and onions; cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Add chicken and taco seasoning; cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is heated through, about 2 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a small bowl. Wipe the skillet clean.
- Place tortillas on a cutting board. Sprinkle each tortilla with 1/4 cup cheese. Spread about 1/2 cup chicken mixture across the bottom half of each tortilla and fold the top half over the chicken.
- Coat the skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Add the quesadillas and cook until the tortillas are browned and the cheese has melted, about 1 minute per side.
