- 1 chorizo sausage, thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced chorizo, bell pepper, and onion. Cook until chorizo is crispy and vegetables are tender.

Remove chorizo and vegetables from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, place one tortilla. Layer with shredded chicken, cooked chorizo, vegetable mixture, and shredded cheese.

Once cooked, transfer the quesadillas to a cutting board and let them cool for a few minutes before slicing into wedges.
