How to make Chicken Cheddar Quesadillas:
We gather all the ingredients to make the chicken and cheese quesadillas. If you like it spicy, you can add a little chili or Tabasco to the recipe.
Cut the vegetables as indicated in the image. Yellow bell pepper can also be included in the recipe.
Put a little olive oil in a pan and fry the onion for a couple of minutes. When it begins to turn transparent, add the peppers, stir and let cook for 4 minutes over medium heat. Then add the chopped chicken and season with salt. Cook until the chicken is golden. This time we have used boneless chicken thighs which are juicier than the breast. Add the diced tomato and let it cook over medium heat for 4 minutes. Mix well so that all the ingredients are integrated.
Finally, add the sweet corn, mix and remove from heat. The corn, in addition to giving the dish a beautiful color, provides a sweet flavor that combines very well with the peppers and the meat. On the other hand, we prepare a simple homemade guacamole by peeling the avocado, sprinkling it with lemon, a little salt and olive oil. Mix well, mashing with a fork. If you want to know other varieties you can try the guacamole with tomato or the guacamole with Pico de Gallo. Heat the wheat tortillas in the pan, add the chicken mixture and a slice of cheddar cheese. We close the quesadilla and let the cheese melt.
Here you have the step by step recipe for wheat tortillas and if you want, you can also try this recipe with corn tortillas. These chicken and cheese quesadillas are perfect for any dinner or party with friends. Serve them as seen in the photo and accompany with a little guacamole. And if you want a Mexican evening, I suggest you accompany the quesadillas with the famous tamarind Michalaras.
