Time 1h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

One 15-ounce can fire-roasted tomatoes
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 clove garlic, finely grated
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 8-ounce boneless skinless chicken breast
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 red bell peppers, cut into 1/4-inch strips
Four 10-inch (burrito-size) flour tortillas
2 cups shredded Cheddar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Sour cream, chopped scallions, guacamole and salsa, for serving

Steps:

  • Put the tomatoes, chili powder, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 2/3 cup water in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Cook 10 minutes, breaking up the tomatoes with a spoon. Add the chicken and cook, flipping once, until cooked through, 8 to 9 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate, shred it, then return it to the sauce. Add salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bell peppers and cook until tender and slightly charred, 8 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.
  • Lay a tortilla on a work surface and top evenly with 1/2 cup of the Cheddar. Add one-quarter of the shredded chicken and sauce and one-quarter of the bell peppers. Fold the tortilla in half to enclose the fillings. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and ingredients.
  • Melt 1/2 tablespoon of the butter in a large nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Cook a quesadilla, flipping once, until the cheese is melted and it is golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and repeat with the remaining butter and quesadillas.
  • Cut into triangles and serve topped with sour cream, chopped scallions, guacamole and salsa.
