2 Cutting Boards 1 for chicken and 1 for veggies
3 Chef Knives or 2 knives and 1 pizza cutter

Ingredients

7-8 Flour Tortillas (large)
2 Cups Chicken
1/2 Cup Fresh Spinach
2 Cups Peppers
1/2 Cup Onion
2 Cups Cheddar Cheese
1 Tbsp Chili Powder
2 Tsp Ground Cumin
1 Tsp Salt
2 Tbs Butter
1 Tbs Olive Oil

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 450F
Wash your peppers
Chop the onion
Cook your Peppers and Onions together in a small frying pan with the olive oil and set aside
Layer the tortillas on the baking sheet so that they over lap the sides of the pan all around making sure there are no gaps between them on the pan.
Add half of the cheese evenly by sprinkling it or laying it out strategically
Add the pre-cooked chicken
Add the spinach leaves
Add the peppers and onions
Add the spices
Add the rest of the cheese
Melt the butter
Fold the edges of tortillas back over onto the sheet pan, covering all the toppings. Leave no gaps, leave no topping exposed.
Brush the tops of all the quesadillas wit the melted butter
Place the second sheet pan over the top of the quesadillas and press firmly
Place in the pre-heated oven for 20 minutes
Take from the oven, and let them sit up for a minute or two, remove the top baking sheet
Place a large cutting board that is at least the size of your baking sheet over the top of the quesadillas and flip the pan onto the cutting board
To make triangle shaped quesadillas, first cut them into squares the size of sandwich bread then cut on an angle. To make snack sized simply cut again.
Serve with your favorite salsa, sour cream, green onion, or black olives the sky is the limit when it comes to dressing these quesadillas up. (Toppings are not included in nutritional or cost information.)
