Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound chicken breast sliced into strips
  • 1 large red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 large yellow bell pepper sliced
  • 1 large onion sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fajita seasoning
  • 8 large flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup guacamole
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped

Instructions

  1. 1 Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. 2 Add the sliced chicken breast to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. 3 Add the sliced bell peppers and onion to the skillet with the chicken, and sauté for an additional 5 minutes until vegetables are tender.
  4. 4 Sprinkle the fajita seasoning and red pepper flakes over the chicken and vegetables, stirring well to combine.
  5. 5 Remove the skillet from the heat and set aside.
  6. 6 Place a tortilla in a clean, dry skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the Mexican cheese blend evenly over the tortilla.
  7. 7 Add a portion of the chicken and vegetable mixture on top of the cheese, then top with another 1/4 cup of cheese and a second tortilla.
  8. 8 Cook until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt, about 2-3 minutes. Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook the other side until golden brown.
  9. 9 Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and repeat with the remaining ingredients.
  10. 10 Slice each quesadilla into wedges and serve hot with sour cream, guacamole, and chopped cilantro.
