Chicken Fajita Quesadillas
These chicken fajita quesadillas are a high-protein, flavor-packed meal with juicy seasoned chicken, sautéed peppers, and melty cheese in a crispy tortilla. Perfect for a quick lunch or dinner, they’re easy to make and even better dipped in guacamole or a creamy chipotle sauce.
Ingredients
Method
- Cook the Fajita Filling: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and season with fajita seasoning, garlic powder, and salt. Cook for 4–5 minutes until cooked through. Add bell pepper and onion and sauté for 2–3 minutes until softened and slightly charred.
- Assemble the Quesadillas: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it. Place one tortilla in the pan, sprinkle half the cheese over one side, add the chicken fajita mixture, then top with remaining cheese and fold the tortilla closed.
- Cook Until Crispy: Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with the second tortilla.
- Slice and Serve: Cut into wedges and serve hot with guacamole and sour cream or chipotle crema on the side.
