Quick and Cheesy Simple Chicken Fajita Quesadillas

Instructions

1. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Put in the chicken strips and Fajita seasoning. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until chicken is golden and cooked through. Take chicken out of skillet and reserve.
2. Sauté the veggies: Return skillet to heat and add bell peppers and onions. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until vegetables are softened and a little charred. Take off the stove and leave aside.
3. Assemble the quesadillas: Spread a portion of the chicken, cooked vegetables, and grated cheese over half the side of each tortilla. Then fold the tortilla over itself to form sort of a half moon shape.
4. Cook the quesadillas: On the stove, heat a non-stick skillet or griddle on medium heat. Fold quesadilla in half and slide it on the skillet; cook, turning once, until golden brown and cheese is melted for 2-3 minutes per side. Continue with the rest of the quesadillas.
5. Serve: Serve the quesadillas hot, cut into wedges, and a dollop of sour cream, roma salsa, and guacamole on the side.

Tips and Variations:

1. Swaps on the Protein: If you are not a chicken person, try this with steak, shrimp, or even tofu.
2. Cheese Options: You can also combine different cheeses to give it a stronger taste. Good options are cheddar, Monterey Jack, or something like a Mexican blend.
3. Make It Spicy: You could also add some diced jalapeños or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the fajita mixture for an extra kick in your quesadillas.
4. Tortilla Tip: To give quesadillas a crispier texture, lightly butter half of one side of each tortilla to be cooked prior to cooking. It adds a golden crunch.
5. Great with: If serving these as part of a family meal, why not cook some Mexican rice or serve them alongside a simple salad as it gives a yummy taste?
6. Prepare ahead of time: You can also cook the chicken and veggies a few days in advance, like leaving these in the fridge for 2 to 3 days. Then, when ready to eat, just assemble and cook the quesadillas.
