Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 medium sweet onion sliced
  • 2-3 tbsp taco seasoning
  • 6-8 large flour tortillas
  • 2-3 cups shredded Mexican cheese
  • 3 ripe avocados
  • 1/2 onion diced
  • 1 tbsp cilantro chopped
  • 2 jalapeño peppers diced
  • 1 medium tomato diced
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Cook seasoned chicken thighs in oil until browned and cooked through. Remove from pan.
  2. Cook sliced peppers and onions in same pan until tender and lightly caramelized.
  3. Return chicken to pan and toss with vegetables. Let cool slightly.
  4. Make guacamole by mashing avocados and mixing with diced vegetables, lime juice, and seasonings.
  5. Assemble quesadillas with cheese, chicken mixture, and more cheese. Fold tortillas in half.
  6. Cook quesadillas on medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and cheese melts.
  7. Let rest 1-2 minutes, then cut into wedges and serve with guacamole.

Notes

Don't overcook vegetables - they should retain some bite. Use ripe but firm avocados for best guacamole texture. Cook quesadillas on medium heat to prevent burning.
