Chicken Quesadillas

Chicken Quesadillas

Ingredients
1 large rotisserie chicken, shredded
1 ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
6-8 flour tortillas
1 tbsp Taco or Cajun seasoning
salt and ¼ tsp pepper
1 small red bell pepper, de-seeded and sliced into strips
1 small green bell pepper, de-seeded and sliced into strips
1 medium sized onion, sliced
some sliced black olives (optional)
1 cup diced tomatoes
Olive oil and butter

Directions
Take a large skillet and place on low heat. Drizzle some olive oil and add the shredded chicken, the taco seasoning, salt and pepper. Sauté for a few minutes and keep aside. Take another skillet and add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet over high heat. Throw in the onions and peppers and cook until the peppers have a few dark brown areas. Sauté for 3-4 minutes. Remove and set aside. Sizzle 1 tsp of the butter in a separate skillet over medium heat and lay a flour tortilla in the skillet. Then build the quesadillas by laying grated cheese on the bottom tortilla, and then arranging the chicken, peppers, chopped tomatoes and sliced olives. Top with a little more grated cheese and top with a second tortilla. When the tortilla is golden on the first side, carefully flip the quesadilla to the other side, adding another 1 tsp butter to the skillet at the same time. Continue cooking until the second side is golden. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings. Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve with salsa or ketchup.
