Ingredients: 3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed 2 large red onions, diced 1 yellow bell pepper, diced 1 green bell pepper, diced 1 tomato, seeded and diced 2+ cups shredded cheddar 2+ cups shredded white cheese of your choice (mozz, provolone, monterrey jack, pepperjack etc) 20-30 small tortillas (corn or flour)- about 5 or 6 inches in diameter Cayenne pepper Chili Powder Coriander Cumin Lemon and/or lime juice Minced garlic Oil (your choice what type: olive, canola, veg- I don't think it matters)
Sour Cream, Salsa, Guacamole (as condiments)
Instructions: Cut the chicken into cubes, and saute in oil over medium heat with 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper, 1 tbsp chili powder, 2 tsp cumin, 2 tbsp lemon and/or lime juice, 1 1/2 tsp minced garlic, 2 tsp coriander (these are approximates- adjust to your own taste). Cook until the chicken is almost cooked through (not completely done). Add the red onions. After about two minutes, add the yellow and green peppers. Continue cooking over medium heat until the chicken is cooked through. This part starts to smell really good!
When the chicken is done, remove from heat and add the diced tomato to the mix. It's a nice mix of colors- green, red, yellow, purple veggies with the chicken. Set this mix aside.
On a large, flat griddle (or use a griddle and also a frying pan on another burner, or several frying pans), heat the griddle/pans over medium heat, then drizzle a little oil over the surface. Place several tortillas on the cooking surface, as space allows. Spoon small portions of the chicken/veg mix onto the center of each tortilla, and spread out a little with the spoon. On top of this, sprinkle both types of cheese (less than 1/4 cup total should do it) and top each with another tortilla. You can press down a little on the top tortilla to spread things out.
Let them fry about 1:30-2 minutes, then flip them over. The tortillas should have those nice brown spots, but not be burned, of course. The second side needs about 15-20 seconds LESS cooking time than the first side. Remove the quesadillas from the heat. Repeat the whole process of stacking tortillas until you run out of the chicken/veg filling. Serve with any combination of salsa, sour cream, and guacamole. This can feed several people.

Haha!! The trouble is, all the colors are on the INSIDE, so it still looks like an ordinary quesadilla, but it does taste good! Hehe!
