For the Chicken:
Season the raw chicken breast with a teaspoon of Granulated Garlic and Onion and salt and pepper. Add a teaspoon of taco seasoning and 3 teaspoons of Olive oil. Rub in the seasoning throughout the chicken. Make sure the oil is on every piece. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Heat up your skillet to medium with 2-3 tablespoons of oil. Once the oil is ready we are going to place the chicken in the light oil. We are aiming for a sear. You're not cooking the chicken all the way you’re just making the outside crunchy and pulling the chicken off. Once you’re done with the batch. Cover the bottom of the 2 inch pan with chicken stock. Place the half cooked chicken into the pan, into the stock. Seal the pan with a layer of Saran Wrap and a layer of tin foil on top of that. Place the pan in the oven for 20 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees or better. Remove the chicken into a heat safe bowl to await Quesadilla preparation.
For the Beef:
Place the Ground beef into a mixing bowl. Mix in a tea spoon of taco seasoning, salt and pepper, granulated garlic and onion. Chopped Peppers and onions. Mix everything into the ground beef as well as possible. Throw the entire ground beef mixture onto your skillet. Turn the heat up to medium and wait til the bottom of the pan starts to sizzle. Once you hear the sizzle break up the meat with a spatula as much as possible. Continue this process for about 5-10 minutes. Cook the meat until the texture is right for you. I like to cook the meat til it’s about 150 degrees in the center of the skillet. Once the meat is cooked. Place the cooked beef into a strainer to remove the excess oil. Remove the beef into a heat safe bowl to await quesadilla preparation.
Chicken Quesadillas
On a clean skillet preheated to medium we are going to melt butter and start first with chopped raw bell peppers and onions. Place the vegetables into the skillet. Let them sauté in the butter until the peppers are soft and the onions are golden. This process takes almost 7-8 minutes. Once the vegetables are ready place the seasoned cooked chicken into the skillet and combine the protein and vegetables. In a separate Skillet also preheated to medium. Melt butter. Once the butter is melted place a 10 inch tortilla onto the skillet. Cover the tortilla in shredded cheddar cheese. Let it cook until the cheese starts to melt. Place the amount of meat and vegetables that you want onto your tortilla. Fold in half and then remove from the skillet with a spatula and place on to a cutting board. Cut down the middle. Then cut each half in half. Afterwards it is ready to serve.
Beef Quesadillas
Preheat a skillet on medium. Melt butter on the pan. Place a 10 inch Tortilla onto the melted butter. Cover the tortilla in shredded cheddar cheese. Once the cheese starts to melt cover half the tortilla with the cooked Ground beef vegetables mixture. Fold in half. Remove from the skillet and place on cutting board. Cut it down the middle. Then cut each half in half. Now it is ready to serve.
To be served:
This dish is best served with a side of salsa and sour cream. Garnished with diced tomatoes and red onion.
