Chicken Fajita Quesadillas

Now that we are back in the land of Tex-Mex, and really cheap Tex-Mex ingredients, I can’t get enough…we can’t get enough. I feel like I’m making Tex-Mex once or twice a week…because ingredients are so cheap, and everyone loves to chow down. Enchiladas, layered enchiladas, fajitas, quesadillas…and now chicken fajitas meet quesadillas. Whatever it may be, we love Tex-Mex.

Make your fajitas on the grill or in a skillet. Mix ’em up with cheese and slap between some tortillas. Bake, grill or saute them…bam!

Your frugal dinner is ready! 

Also, don’t forget to cut your quesadillas with your pizza cutter!

Buen provecho! That means Bon Appetit, or enjoy your meal…in Spanish!
