These chicken and avocado quesadillas are made with wheat tortillas filled with a sautéed mixture of finely chopped chicken, bell peppers, onion, and tomato sauce, along with grated mozzarella and slices of fresh avocado. Cooking them in a pan melts the cheese while keeping the tortilla crisp. Enjoy these quesadillas hot to savor the contrast between the cheese's melty texture and the freshness of the avocado, enhanced by the chicken and vegetables' mild, slightly spicy aromas.

Finely chop the peppers and onion. Sauté them in a pan with a little olive oil.
After about 5 minutes, add the finely chopped chicken and crushed garlic.
When the chicken is cooked, season with salt and pepper, and add the tomato sauce. Mix well and remove from heat.
In a large pan over medium heat, place a wheat tortilla. On one half, add 2 to 3 tablespoons of the chicken filling.
On the other half, sprinkle a generous handful of grated mozzarella. Slice the avocado and place the slices on the filling. Cook over medium heat until the mozzarella melts.
Fold the half covered with cheese over the filling. Remove from heat and cut the resulting half-circle into 4 pieces.
And there you have it, your quesadillas are ready!
