How to Make Pulled Chicken Quesadilla Triangles
Preheat the skillet over medium heat.
Combine the pulled chicken, shredded cheese, diced bell peppers, diced onions, cumin, and chili powder in a bowl.
Layer a tortilla in the skillet, then add a generous portion of the chicken mixture on one half.
Fold the tortilla over the filling and cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
Flip the quesadilla and cook the other side until it's golden and the cheese is melted, another 2-3 minutes.
Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and cut it into triangles.
Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Serve with salsa or guacamole for an extra tasty touch. Prepare all ingredients beforehand for a smooth cooking process.
