A flavorful twist on classic quesadillas, combining spicy chicken fajita filling with melted cheese in a crispy tortilla.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of oil.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding ingredients to prevent sticking.
Cook the chicken breast until fully cooked, then remove and dice into small pieces.
Cut the chicken into even pieces for consistent cooking.
In the same skillet, sauté the bell pepper and onion until softened.
Stir frequently to avoid burning the vegetables.
Add the diced chicken back to the skillet along with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and salsa. Stir to combine and heat through.
Adjust the seasoning to taste for a spicier or milder flavor.
Place a tortilla on a griddle, add a portion of the chicken mixture and cheese, then fold the tortilla in half.
Do not overfill the tortilla to prevent spillage.
Cook the quesadilla on the griddle until golden brown on both sides.
Press gently with a spatula for even cooking.
Cut the quesadilla into wedges and serve with your favorite toppings.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
