Method

  1. 01
    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. 02
    Add the sliced chicken breast to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. 03
    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. 04
    Sprinkle the fajita seasoning and red pepper flakes over the chicken and vegetables, stirring well to combine.
  5. 05
    Remove the skillet from the heat and set aside.
  6. 06
    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. 07
    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. 08
    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. 09
    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.
