How To Make Chi-Chi’s Chicken Quesadillas

Cheesy chicken and veggie quesadillas, made with Chi-Chi’s salsa, served with sour cream and guacamole.

Preparation: 20 minutes

Cooking: 20 minutes

Total: 40 minutes

Serves:

Ingredients

1 lb chicken breast, sliced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 green bell pepper, sliced
1 onion, sliced
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup Chi-Chi’s Salsa
8 flour tortillas
2 tbsp vegetable oil
Sour cream and guacamole for serving

Instructions

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the red and green bell peppers and onion. Cook until slightly softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the Chi-Chi’s salsa to the skillet and stir until combined with the veggies.
Add the chicken back into the skillet and stir to combine.
Heat a separate skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tortilla and sprinkle with 1/4 cup of cheddar cheese. Spoon 1/4 of the chicken and veggie mixture on top of the cheese. Top with another tortilla.
Cook until the bottom tortilla is golden brown, about 2 minutes. Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook until the other side is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 2 more minutes. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
Serve the quesadillas hot with sour cream and guacamole.
