Ingredients

  • 6 Tbsp. vegetable oil, divided

  • 2 bell peppers, thinly sliced

  • 1/2 onion, thinly sliced

  • Kosher salt

  • 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips

  • 1/2 tsp. chili powder

  • 1/2 tsp. ground cumin

  • 1/2 tsp. dried oregano

  • 4 medium flour tortillas

  • 2 c. shredded Monterey jack

  • 2 c. shredded cheddar

  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced

  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced

  • Sour cream, for serving

Directions

  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon neutral oil. Season peppers and onion with salt. Cook 5 minutes, or until soft. Transfer to a plate.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of neutral oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Season chicken with chili powder, cumin, dried oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and thoroughly cooked, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Wipe out the skillet.
  • In a skillet, add 1 tablespoon of neutral. Top half of a flour tortilla with cheese, cooked chicken, pepperonion mixture, avocado slices, and scallions. Cook the other half of the tortilla, flipping once, until golden, about 3 minutes per side.
  • Repeat with the remaining oil, tortillas, chicken, pepper-onion mixture, avocado, and scallions to make four quesadillas.
  • Cut into wedges and serve with sour cream.

Notes

  • Quesadillas can be made with any cheese, but cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a Mexican blend are the best options. A combination of cheeses enhances flavor.
  • Add More Veggies: If you like more vegetables, feel free to add mushrooms, spinach, or even corn to the quesadilla.
