Equuipment Needed:

  • 2 Large Skillets ( 12 inch )
  • Pastry Brush
  • Large Round Pancake Spatula

Instructions
 

  • In a pan on medium heat, add in some cooking oil and butter . Once the pan is hot, toss in the cooked shredded chicken. Sprinkle on some taco seasoning and stir the chicken until it is warmed through for about 2 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  • In a pan on medium heat, add in some cooking oil. Once the pan is hot, toss in the diced bell peppers and diced yellow onions. Sprinkle on some taco seasoning and cook the vegetables for a few minutes until they are tender. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  • Brush BOTH sides of the flour tortillas with cooking oil. Set aside.
  • Let’s make the quesadilla ! Start out with 2 separate skillets ( one on the right burner and one on the left burner . You are going to use both at the same time. Turn them both on to medium heat. Once the pans are hot add a flour tortilla to each dry pan and cook the tortillas until they are slightly browned. It should only take about a minute or so. Then turn off the heat to the right burner only.
  • Flip both tortillas over and then quickly add some shredded Mexican blend cheese to the tortilla on the left burner with the heat still on. So cover the entire tortilla with Mexican blend cheese. Next add the shredded chicken, diced onions, diced bell peppers and top with more of the shredded Mexican cheese. The cheese will act as a glue to keep the quesadilla together while being flipped. Then take the tortilla from the right burner and transfer it to the left skillet. Place the COOKED side down onto the rest of the ingredients and the uncooked side should be facing up. Use a spatula to press down and around the edge of the tortilla. Once the bottom tortilla is nicely browned and the cheese is slightly melted, BE SURE to press down around the edge one last time before you flip the quesadilla over to prevent any of the ingredients from falling out of it. Once you have flipped quesadilla and the bottom of the quesadilla is nicely browned, then it is done!
  • Transfer to a plate and enjoy with some sour cream, guacamole and Mexican hot sauce !
