Chicken Fajita Quesadillas

​

Ingredients

2 Chicken breasts

1 Green bell pepper

1 Red bell pepper

1 Red onion

1 Yellow onion

2 Tbsp. olive oil (divided)

1 ½ Cup shredded cheddar (or Mexican blend)

5 – 6 Large flour tortillas

1 Tsp. lemon pepper

Salt and pepper (to taste)

½ Tbsp. butter

 

Instructions​:

1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper (I like to use seasoned pepper).

2. Pour 1 tbsp. of olive oil in a skillet on medium heat.

3. Once oil is hot, sauté chicken until it’s done (About 5 – 7 minutes on both sides).

4. While chicken is cooking, julienne cut the bell peppers and onions.

5. Place the vegetables in a large bowl; add lemon pepper, salt, pepper, and 1 tbsp. oil; mix together.

6. Once chicken is done, place chicken on a plate and shred with two forks.

7. Add vegetables to the skillet and sauté until softened but still has color (about 5 minutes).

8. Return vegetables back to the large bowl; add in shredded chicken.

9. Add cheese to the mixture and stir.

10. Grab your tortillas.  Spoon the filling on half of each tortilla.

11. Sprinkle more cheese on top and fold the other side of the tortilla over it.

12. Place butter in a griddle pan or skillet on medium heat.

13. Once butter is melted, place your quesadillas in and brown on both sides (3 – 5 minutes per side).

14. Remove quesadillas from the pan and cut into thirds.

15. Serve and enjoy!

Tip:  Serve these with guacamole, salsa, or sour cream with sliced green onions!
