A quick and easy quesadilla recipe featuring a blend of cheeses, smoky grilled peppers and onions, and chicken cooked on a Blackstone griddle for a crispy, flavorful meal perfect for family gatherings and casual dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
  • 1.5 cups shredded cheese blend (sharp cheddar and Monterey Jack)
  • 1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
  • 1 cup thinly sliced bell peppers (red and green)
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced white onion
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (optional)
  • Sour cream or guacamole for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat (around 375°F/190°C), about 5 minutes.
  2. In a bowl, toss sliced bell peppers and onions with olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper.
  3. Spread the veggies evenly on the griddle and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and slightly charred.
  4. Add shredded chicken to the griddle for the last 2 minutes of veggie cooking to heat through and absorb spices.
  5. Lay a tortilla flat on the griddle. Sprinkle half the cheese blend evenly over the tortilla, then add a generous layer of the chicken and veggie mixture.
  6. Top with the remaining cheese and another tortilla. Press down gently with a spatula.
  7. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the bottom tortilla is golden and crispy. Carefully flip and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes until crispy and cheese is melted.
  8. Transfer to a cutting board, let rest for 2 minutes, then slice into wedges.
  9. Sprinkle fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice if desired. Serve with sour cream or guacamole on the side.

Notes

Pat chicken dry before assembling to avoid soggy tortillas. Use two spatulas to flip quesadillas carefully. Preheat griddle fully for best crispiness. Let quesadillas rest 2 minutes before slicing to set cheese. For dairy-free, use vegan cheese alternatives. For vegetarian, swap chicken with black beans or sautéed mushrooms.
