Chef's tip
Ground chicken is often leaner than ground pork and can dry out more quickly. When browning it, add a little oil if needed and keep the pan juices unless the recipe says to drain them. Cook just until it reaches 165°F (74°C).
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp ground cumin
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
1 tbsp olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced

For the quesadillas

4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
Chef's tip
Warm briefly before folding to improve flexibility.
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded monterey jack cheese
1 tbsp neutral oil (such as canola oil or vegetable oil), divided

For serving

sour cream, for serving (optional)
salsa, for serving (optional)
fresh cilantro, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
2
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the onion and red bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly golden at the edges, about 5–6 minutes.
