Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon taco seasoning

1 bell pepper (red, yellow, or green), sliced

1 medium onion, sliced

4 large flour tortillas

2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)

1 cup cooked rice (white or brown)

2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Salsa or sour cream (for serving)

Instructions
 

Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken and sprinkle with taco seasoning. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and no longer pink in the center. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

    Sauté the Veggies: In the same skillet, add the sliced bell pepper and onion. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until the veggies are tender and slightly caramelized.

      Combine and Fill: Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet with the veggies, mixing well to combine. Take one flour tortilla and sprinkle a layer of cheese over half of it, then top with a generous scoop of the chicken and veggie mixture, followed by another layer of cheese. Fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.

        Cook the Quesadilla: Wipe down the skillet and return it to medium heat. Place the filled quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

          Serve with Rice: On each plate, serve a side of cooked rice. Garnish the quesadilla with fresh cilantro and, if desired, serve with salsa or sour cream on the side.

            Enjoy! Slice your quesadillas into wedges, serve, and enjoy the explosion of flavors!
