Instructions

Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, chili powder, and cumin. Sauté in olive oil over medium heat until fully cooked and no longer pink inside (about 6-7 minutes). Remove from pan.
In the same pan, add sliced onions and bell peppers; cook until softened and golden brown (about 5 minutes).
Shred the cooked chicken and mix it back into the pan with veggies.
Lay a tortilla on a clean surface; add a layer of the chicken mixture followed by cheese. Fold in half.
Heat more olive oil in the skillet over medium-high heat and fry each quesadilla until golden brown on both sides (about 3-4 minutes per side).
Cut into wedges and serve hot with sour cream and salsa.
