Ingredients:
 
Quesadillas:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
1 green pepper, cut into strips
1 red pepper, cut into strips
1 medium onion, cut into strips
10 large soft tortilla shells
2 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
2 1/2 cups shredded monterey jack cheese
2 1/2 tbls seasoning (recipe follows)
6 tsp cooking oil ( I like to use Canola )
 
Seasoning:
6 tsp chili powder
5 tsp paprika
4 1/2 tsp cumin
2 1/2 tsp onion powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp cayenne
 
Directions:
 
Combine all seasoning ingredients together in a small bowl and mix until fully incorporated. *Store any remaining seasoning in an air-tight container. Set aside.
 
In a large skillet or wok, place 1 tsp cooking oil in pan & heat over medium to medium-high heat. Add chicken & stirring occasionally, cook chicken thoroughly ( approximately 5-6 minutes ). Add veggies & seasoning mixture to pan and stir until everything is evenly coated with seasoning. Continue cooking until veggies are slightly tender ( you still want a bit of crunch to them ). Remove from heat and set aside.
 
Over medium-high heat, evenly coat bottom of non-stick pan with 1 tsp cooking oil. Place 1 tortilla shell in pan and add 1/5 meat & veggie mixture, spreading it out evenly. Add 1/2 cup of each cheese and again, spread out evenly. Place another tortilla shell on top and carefully press down using either a large spatula or (if you’re really careful) use a clean hand. Continue heating over medium-high heat for an additional minute or until cheese starts to melt. Using that same large spatula, carefully *flip quesadilla over and heat for 1 more minute. Slide quesadilla out of pan onto wooden cutting board and let sit for 2 - 3 minutes to cool before cutting into 6 equal pieces.
 
Continue with remaining 4 quesadillas in the above same manner. Serve with salsa, sour cream, and Holy Guacamole.
 
Serves 5
 
*Note: You can also use this seasoning mixture to use in your favourite taco recipe.
The slower you flip the quesadilla, the more chances you’ll make a mess. So long as you let the cheese melt slightly before you flip, everything should stay together. Be brave! It’s not as difficult as you may think.
