Step-by-Step Instructions
Alright, let’s dive into preparing these scrumptious quesadillas! First, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). While that heats up, I love to mix my filling ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Combine the chicken, bell pepper, onion, black beans, and taco seasoning. This mix not only creates a flavor explosion but also turns your kitchen into a fragrant paradise. Once everything is combined, let your filling sit while you prepare the tortillas. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
