Savory Chicken Fajita Quesadillas Easy to Make
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breasts, sliced thin
- 1 piece red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 piece green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 2 teaspoons fajita seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 1 piece avocado, sliced (for serving)
- 0 none Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- 0 none Sour cream (for serving)
- 0 none Salsa (for serving)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine sliced chicken breasts and fajita seasoning. Toss well to coat and let it sit for about 10 minutes to enhance the flavor.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and bell peppers. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes until the veggies are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Return the chicken to the skillet with the veggies, stirring to combine. Cook for another 2 minutes to heat through.
- On a flat surface, place a tortilla and layer with a generous amount of chicken and veggie mixture, followed by a sprinkle of cheese. Top with another tortilla.
- In a clean skillet, add the quesadilla and cook over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
- Once cooked, cut the quesadillas into wedges. Serve warm with slices of avocado, chopped cilantro, sour cream, and salsa on the side.
