Slice the onion and bell peppers. Use as many colors of bell peppers as available.

Mince the garlic and set aside.

Cut the chicken thigh into pieces and season generously with cumin, ground allspice, Spanish paprika, black pepper, salt, and seasoning cubes.

Add a little vegetable oil to the chicken and mix until the chicken changes color. Let it marinate for 30 minutes to 2 hours.

Grate the cheese using a food processor and set aside.

In a pot, heat some vegetable oil and add the marinated chicken thigh. Cook until done.

If the chicken is chunkier than preferred, cut it into smaller pieces.

Add the sliced onions and bell peppers to the pot and mix. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the vegetables retain some crunch.

Remove the chicken and vegetables from the pot and set aside.

Optionally, place the pizza bread in the pot to soak up some oil or sauce.

Layer cheese, chicken, and more cheese on one half of the pizza bread. Fold it over carefully to avoid overfilling.

Oil a skillet and heat it. Cook the quesadilla for 3 to 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
