Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked chicken breast
• 4 pieces Whole30-approved tortilla
• 1 cup dairy-free cheese
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 0.5 medium yellow onion
• 2 tablespoons avocado oil
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon cumin

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the vegetables by dicing the red bell pepper and the yellow onion.

Step 2

In a medium-sized pan, heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the diced bell pepper and onion to the pan and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken breast, sautéed vegetables, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all ingredients.

To assemble the quesadillas, place one Whole30-approved tortilla on a flat surface. Spread a quarter of the chicken mixture on one half of the tortilla.

Step 6

Sprinkle a quarter cup of dairy-free cheese over the chicken mixture.

Step 7

Fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling to form a half-moon shape.

Repeat the assembly process with the remaining tortillas.

Heat the remaining tablespoon of avocado oil in a large pan over medium heat.

Step 10

Gently place a quesadilla in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese has melted.

Remove from the pan and repeat with the remaining quesadillas.

Step 12

Slice the quesadillas into wedges and serve warm.
