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:
- 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.
- Add 1 Tbsp. olive oil to the same skillet and add onion. Cook until softened and slightly translucent.
- Add peppers and 1 to 2 Tbsp. fajita seasoning. Cook for about 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in chicken and heat through.
- 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.
- Add fajita mixture and cheese on one half and then fold the other half over.
- Cook over medium heat until brown and then carefully flip over to brown on the other side.
- Repeat with remaining ingredients until you run out of fajita mixture. I usually do two quesadillas at a time.
- 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.
