Tony Tejas Chicken Quesadillas

Ingredients

  • Flour tortillas
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
  • Tony's Tejas Salsa (about ½ cup for the marinade)
  • 1 small red onion, diced
  • 1 small bell pepper, diced (yellow or orange is best)
  • 3 to 4 tbsp olive oil
  • Shredded cheese

Method

  1. Put the sliced chicken in a zip-top bag with ½ cup salsa. Seal and refrigerate 1 to 2 hours, or overnight for the best flavor.
  2. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet and sauté the chicken, bell pepper and onion until the chicken is cooked through.
  3. Coat a second large skillet with nonstick spray. Lay in a tortilla, then add cheese and some of the chicken and pepper mixture.
  4. Top with another tortilla. Once the cheese melts, flip and brown the other side.
  5. Cut into quarters and serve.
