Combine 2 cups of cooked chicken with 2 tablespoons of taco seasoning mix, 1 teaspoon of cumin, and a pinch of chipotle chili powder.

Stir the chicken mixture until well combined.

Add 1/4 cup of salsa, 1/2 cup of chopped red pepper, and 1/2 cup of chopped cilantro to the mixture and combine.

Take a flour tortilla and place it in the bottom of the pan, spraying it with a little oil spray.

Sprinkle about 1/4 cup of cheese on the tortilla.

Spread the chicken mixture over the cheese, then add a little more cheese on top.

Place another tortilla on top and flip the quesadilla after a couple of minutes.

Cook for a few more minutes on the other side until ready to plate.

Cut the quesadilla with a pizza cutter and serve with guacamole and sour cream.
