Chicken quesadillas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that kids love. Here’s a simple recipe:
Ingredients:
- 8 flour tortillas
- 1 pound cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped red onion
- 1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, cheese, red onion, green bell pepper, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Assemble the quesadillas: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place one tortilla on the hot surface.
- Fill the tortillas: Spoon about 1/2 cup of the chicken mixture onto one half of the tortilla. Fold the empty half over the filling.
- Cook until golden brown: Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Cut and serve: Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve immediately.
For a healthier option, you can use whole-wheat tortillas and lean chicken. You can also add other vegetables like mushrooms, spinach, or corn.
