Chicken Quesadilla with Guacamole

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken Filling

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken strips, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 8-10 minutes until chicken is browned and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Step 2: Sauté Vegetables

In the same skillet, add the sliced bell pepper and onion. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are soft. Add dried oregano and continue to cook for an additional minute. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3: Assemble the Quesadillas

Wipe the skillet clean and keep it over medium heat. On a clean surface, lay out the tortillas. Place a generous amount of cheese, chicken, and vegetables on one side of each tortilla. Fold the tortillas over the filling, pressing lightly to seal.

Step 4: Cook the Quesadillas

Place the folded tortillas in the skillet, cooking for 3-4 minutes per side until the tortillas are golden and the cheese is melted. You can cook in batches if necessary. Remove from heat and keep warm.

Step 5: Prepare the Guacamole

While the quesadillas are cooking, cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Use a fork to mash to your desired consistency. Stir in lime juice, salt, onion, cilantro, tomatoes, garlic, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 6: Serve

Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve immediately with a generous dollop of guacamole. Enjoy the harmonious blend of warm and crispy quesadillas with the cool freshness of guacamole.
