Cut chicken breasts into cubes or smaller pieces.

In a bowl, mix garlic powder, cumin powder, salt, onion powder, red chili flakes, black pepper, red chili powder, and dried oregano.

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan over medium to medium-high heat (about 350°F).

Add the chicken to the pan and cook for about 5-8 minutes on each side until fully cooked and water has evaporated.

Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

In the same pan, sauté onions until translucent, then add red and yellow bell peppers and cook for about 3 minutes.

Add the cooked chicken back into the pan and heat everything together.

On one half of a Mission flour tortilla, layer mozzarella, Monterey Jack, and mild cheddar cheese, followed by the chicken and more cheese on top.

Fold the tortilla in half and cook in a pan on low heat, flipping every 2 minutes until golden and cheese is melted.

Cut the quesadilla into triangles for serving.
