Cooking Steps

Cook chicken
1
  • Before starting, preheat the broiler to high. Wash and dry all produce.
  • Pat chicken dry with paper towels.
  • To a foil-lined baking sheet, add chicken. Season with half the Chili-Cumin Spice Blend, salt and pepper, then drizzle with 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. Toss to coat.
  • Broil in the middle of the oven for 10-14 min, flipping halfway through, until golden and cooked through.** 
Prep
2
  • Meanwhile, peel, then cut onion into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
Cook veggies
3
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium.
  • When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, peppers, onions and cabbage. Cook for 4-5 min, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender-crisp.
  • Add remaining Chili-Cumin Spice Blend and 2 tbsp (1/4 cup) water. Cook for 1-2 min, stirring occasionally, until fragrant.
  • Transfer to a plate.
  • Carefully wipe the pan clean.
Shred chicken and fill quesadillas
4
  • To a large bowl, add chicken. Use 2 forks to shred. Add tomato sauce base, veggies and half the cheese, then toss to combine.
  • Arrange tortillas on a clean surface.
  • Spread chicken filling evenly over one side of each tortilla. 
  • Sprinkle remaining cheese over filling. 
  • Fold tortillas in half to enclose filling. 
Pan-fry quesadillas

  • Reheat the same pan over medium.
  • When the pan is hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil, then quesadillas. (Note: Don't crowd the pan, cook in 2 batches, using 1/2 tbsp oil per batch, if needed.) Cook for 2-3 min per side, until golden. 
Finish and serve
