Fajita Quesadillas


Ingredients

  • Fajita seasoning packet

  • 1 cup chicken broth or water

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 large onion - sliced into wedges

  • 3 bell peppers - cut into strips

  • 4 chicken breasts - shredded

  • Burrito size tortillas

  • Cheddar cheese or fiesta blend cheese

  • kosher salt

  • Toppings: guacamole, avocado, sour cream, salsa, etc.

Directions:

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and saute for 4 minutes. Add the bell peppers and cook for another 6 minutes until the onions are softened, and the peppers are tender but still a little crisp.

  2. Add in the shredded chicken. Add the fajita seasonings (1-4 tbsp to taste) and the chicken broth or water. Once most of the liquid has cooked off, turn off the stovetop. (Note, if the mixture seems dry you can add a little more chicken broth/water.) Taste the filling to see if you want more salt or other seasonings. Set aside.

  3. Spread cheese on ½ of each tortilla, top with chicken fajita mixture, then top with more cheese and then fold the tortilla over to close.

  4. Heat a 12-inch nonstick skillet, over medium heat. Add oil to the pan and a sprinkle of kosher salt. Cook the quesadillas on one side until golden, adjusting the heat if needed. Use a spatula to press the quesadillas to flatten them. Carefully flip the quesadillas with the spatula. and cook on the other side until the tortilla is golden and the filling and cheese are hot and melted.
