From Karen's Kitchen- Peppers, Onions and Chicken Quesadilla's

Peppers, Onions and Chicken Quesadilla's

I've been getting into eating more and more vegetables lately.  I especially love peppers and onions when they cook down and become very sweet.  Today the weather was slightly mild so it inspired me to make a summer meal.  I usually keep my Quesadilla's simple but tonight I was ready to pack them with fresh veggies.  When I unloaded my groceries, the produce looked so pretty that I staged them and took a picture.  As you can tell, I love taking pictures of food. I don't know, it makes me happy.

Ingredients
2 Chicken breasts sliced and sauteed
1 large red pepper
1/2 medium sweet onion
Mild Cheddar Cheese
2 Avocados
1 lime
1 bunch of Cilantro
1 Jar of salsa
sour cream (I use low fat)








To make Quesadilla's:
First saute peppers and onions until soft. Then saute and cook chicken.  Put these aside.
Preheat a grill pan. Place one tortilla on the pan, then add salsa,  peppers, onions, chicken, cheese and top with second tortilla.  Grill on medium heat until cheese is melted.

Quick Guacamole:
2 avocado's mashed in a bowl
1/4 cup of cilantro chopped
Juice of half of a lime
salt and pepper to taste

To serve:
I cut the Quesadilla with a pizza cutter, add  sour cream, guacamole and salsa either on the side or on top of the Quesadilla.

This is my own recipe!
