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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Return the chicken to the skillet with the veggies, stirring to combine. Cook for another 2 minutes to heat through.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Once cooked, cut the quesadillas into wedges. Serve warm with slices of avocado, chopped cilantro, sour cream, and salsa on the side.
