Prep
Begin by setting your oven to 375F
If you are using fresh chicken it is fairly quick to fry it on the stove top In a small pan with a little oil. Set the burner temp as required and begin cooking the chicken.
Alternately you can use left over chicken, beef, or skip the meat altogether.
It is important to have all the ingredients thinly sliced. Use a Mandoline slicer for thin even cuts.
Slice the onion, and peppers.
Turn the chicken!
Now grate some cheese.
Portion out some olive and jalapeno slices in small bowls
Place all the ingredients in separate bowls.
Remove the chicken from the frying pan and place it on a cutting board.
Shred the chicken using knife and fork.
Place the chicken back in the pan to make sure is it fully and evenly cooked.

Remove! Cut! Present! and Enjoy!
Remove the quesadilla from the oven. Use protection as the pan or stone is hot!
Place the heated quesadilla on a heat resist cutting board and section the full round into 8 equal sections (or the folded one into 4 equal sections) using a sharp kitchen knife.
Serve Aesthetically arranged on a plate with salsa or other desirable additions (we are not savages here!) .
If having tequila, enjoy responsibly. Sadly snacking for ONE, can be lonely!
