This one is nothing special or new, but is a pretty quick, cheap, tasty meal. It makes a good lunch.

This recipe makes one quesadilla.

Ingredients:
One large pan/skillet/wok/etc.
Cutting Board
Spatula
Bowl/Tupperware Container
One knife and one fork
1 Large Tortilla (I like flour tortillas)
Onion Power
1/2 oz Minced Garlic
One Skinless Chicken Tender
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar and Monterey)
2-3oz Lime Juice
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup diced white onion
1/4 cup diced bell pepper
Vegetable Oil (enough to coat the pan with)

Preparation:
Preheat your stove and pan on one of it's highest settings. Place your pan and 1-2 oz. of vegetable oil into the pan. While that is heating you can go ahead an dice up your onion and bell pepper. Also you can shred your cheese if you use blocks instead of the pre-shredded bags. You can place the diced vegetables in the bowl/tupperware to make room on the cutting board.

Once the pan is heated, sprinkle the black powder over the tender and place it in the pan. Let each side sear for about 30-45 seconds. Just enough to cook the outside of the chicken, and get the pepper flavor locked into the surface.

Next take the chicken tender out of the pan with the fork. Turn the stove down to a medium-low/medium heat level. The chicken will be pretty warm, obviously, so hold it with the fork and proceed to cut it into smaller, bite sized pieces. The chicken will still be raw in the middle. Cooking it a little basically makes it easier to cut up that trying to cut up raw chicken, and I think helps with the pepper flavor.

With the heat on low, add your diced chicken, vegetables, minced garlic, and lime juice back into the pan. Let that cook until the chicken is no longer pink, and the vegetables appear done.

Place the entire mixture back into the bowl/tupperware. Sprinkle some onion powder along the bottom of the pan, and add your tortilla to the pan. Add half of the shredded cheese onto one half of the tortilla. place the ingredients from the bowl on top of the cheese. Place the rest of the cheese on top of the mixture, and then fold the remaining half of the tortilla on top of everything.

Let each side of the tortilla cook on low/medium heat for around 1-2 minutes. Each side of the tortilla should be golden brown, and the cheese melted. Once it's done, plate it, cute into edible sized triangles, and enjoy. (Remember to wash your knife before cutting the quesadilla up. The last time you used it was on partially raw chicken.)
