- 1½ cups (200g) Cheddar marble cheese, grated
- 1½ cups (180g) bell pepper, sliced
- ½ of a medium onion, sliced

Step-by-step
1
In a bowl, combine the cubed chicken breast with the cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and half of the salt. Toss until the chicken is evenly coated with the seasonings.
2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken cubes, cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside.
3
In same skillet, add the sliced onion and bell pepper. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft and slightly caramelized. Season the mixture with the remaining salt, then remove from the skillet.
4
Lay the tortillas flat. On one half of each tortilla, layer the sautéed vegetables, and the cooked chicken. Evenly distribute the corn over, then sprinkle the Cheddar marble cheese on top.
5
Fold each tortilla in half to cover the filling, pressing gently.
6
Carefully transfer the folded tortillas to the preheated skillet. Cook over medium heat for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are golden and crispy.
7
Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve hot. Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley, sour cream, or salsa on the side.
