Quesadillas de Pollo (Chicken and Cheese Quesadillas)

Method

1. 1

   Season the chicken with chili powder, cumin and salt. Heat half the oil in a skillet over medium-high and cook the chicken, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 7 minutes.

2. 2

   Remove the chicken and add the bell pepper and onion to the same pan; cook until softened and lightly charred, about 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Return the chicken to the pan and toss with the peppers off the heat.

4. 4

   Lay a tortilla flat, scatter cheese over one half, add a quarter of the chicken mixture, more cheese on top, and fold the tortilla over.

   💡 Cheese on both sides of the filling glues the quesadilla shut as it melts.

5. 5

   Wipe out the skillet, add a little oil, and cook each folded quesadilla over medium heat until golden and crisp, about 3 minutes per side.

6. 6

   Cut each into wedges and serve hot with sour cream and lime.
