How to Make Copycat Chicken Quesadillas Like Ruby Tuesday's

Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
In a bowl, combine the chopped bell peppers, onions, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Add the olive oil to the skillet and sauté the vegetable mixture until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the sliced grilled chicken to the skillet and heat through.
Lay out one tortilla on a flat surface. Sprinkle 1/3 cup of the cheese mixture over one half of the tortilla.
Top the cheese with about 1/3 of the chicken and vegetable mixture.
Fold the tortilla in half, pressing gently to seal.
Cook the quesadilla in the skillet for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Repeat with remaining tortillas and ingredients.
