Ingredients:
- Gluten-free flour tortillas (available at most supermarkets)
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 1/2 a red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1/2 a green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- Salsa and sour cream for serving
Instructions:
- Cook Chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from heat, let it rest for a few minutes, and then chop or shred the chicken.
- Prepare Vegetables: In the same skillet, sauté the bell peppers and onion until they are soft and slightly caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Assemble Quesadillas: Lay out the gluten-free tortillas and sprinkle half of each tortilla with cheese. Add chicken, peppers, and onions on top of the cheese, then sprinkle with a little more cheese. Fold the tortillas over to cover the fillings.
- Cook Quesadillas: Wipe the skillet clean, then heat it over medium heat. Place one folded quesadilla in the skillet and cook until the cheese begins to melt and the bottom is golden brown, then flip carefully to brown the other side. Repeat with remaining quesadillas.
- Garnish and Serve: Cut the quesadillas into wedges and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve with salsa and sour cream for dipping.
