Quesadilla

4 pieces Flour tortillas

2 cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese

1 cup Cooked Chicken Breast, shredded

1 cup Bell peppers, diced

1 medium Onion, diced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon Celtic sea salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 cup Sour cream

1 cup Salsa

Fries

4 medium Russet Potatoes

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon Celtic sea salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon Watkins paprika

Method

Preparing the Quesadilla

Sauté Vegetables

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell peppers. Sauté for about 5 minutes, until they are softened and fragrant.

Combine Ingredients

In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed vegetables, shredded chicken, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Assemble Quesadilla

Place one tortilla in the skillet over medium-low heat. Spread 1 cup of the chicken and vegetable mixture evenly over the tortilla. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top. Place another tortilla on top.

Cook Quesadilla

Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and the cheese starts to melt. Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the other side is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.

Slice and Serve

Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for a minute. Slice into wedges and serve with sour cream and salsa.

Preparing the Fries

Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Cut Potatoes

Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips to form fries.

Season Fries

In a large bowl, toss the cut fries with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, black pepper, and paprika until evenly coated.

Bake Fries

Spread the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until they are golden and crispy.

Serve

Remove the fries from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve hot alongside the quesadilla.
