Add half the olive oil to a large skillet over medium high heat, and add the sliced onions and peppers. Saute until starting to soften, about 3 minutes.
Toss in your shredded or diced chicken and the quesadilla seasoning. Saute for a few minutes, or until the chicken and vegetables are well coated and heated through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
To the same skillet, add the remaining oil and 1 tortilla to the pan.
Top with a handful of shredded cheese, the chicken and vegetable mixture, and more cheese. Top with another tortilla.
Cook on both sides until crispy and golden brown. Remove from the pan and repeat with the remaining tortilla.
To Serve: Slice tortillas in half or thirds and serve with guacamole, cilantro, sour cream, or salsa! Or your favorite dipping sauce!

- If you're using almond flour or corn tortillas, make sure to flip them carefully as they are more fragile than flour tortillas.

- You can swap out the chicken for shredded pork or steak! I've also made this recipe with ground beef taco meat.

- The cheese is flexible! You can swap it out for mozzarella, oaxaca, cheddar cheese, or pepper jack for extra heat.

- Feel free to add in all sorts of extra fillings like black beans and tomatoes!
- Make the vegetable and chicken mixture ahead of time! Just heat and store the chicken and veggies in an airtight container in the fridge. Then all you need to do is assemble and cook the quesadillas for an easy meal in no time! Plus, you can use the mixture for rice bowls, burritos, tacos, and more!
- The serving size nutrition is for one full quesadilla.
