Chicken Fajita Quesadillas

What you need:

    • 2 Tbsp. olive oil
    • 1 packet fajita seasoning mix
    • 1 pkg. chicken breasts (thin) or tenderloins, sliced into strips
    • 1 red bell pepper, diced
    • 1 green bell pepper, diced
    • 2 onions, sliced into half moons
    • 1 cup+ Mexican cheese
    • Flour tortillas
    • Nonstick cooking spray
    • Salsa
    • Sour cream

Directions:

    1. Season chicken with 1 to 2 Tbsp. fajita seasoning. Heat 1 Tbsp. olive oil in a large skillet and cook chicken until no longer pink. If you can get a good crust on the chicken, even better! Remove from skillet and set aside.
    2. Add 1 Tbsp. olive oil to the same skillet and add onion. Cook until softened and slightly translucent.
    3. Add peppers and 1 to 2 Tbsp. fajita seasoning. Cook for about 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in chicken and heat through.
    4. In a separate skillet (I like to use a nonstick for good measure), coat with nonstick cooking spray as lightly as possible. Spray one side of a tortilla and place coated side down into skillet.
    5. Add fajita mixture and cheese on one half and then fold the other half over.
    6. Cook over medium heat until brown and then carefully flip over to brown on the other side.
    7. Repeat with remaining ingredients until you run out of fajita mixture. I usually do two quesadillas at a time.
    8. Cut each quesadilla into four slices and serve with salsa and sour cream. I find it easiest to use a pizza cutter to slice quesadillas.
