    Chicken Fajita Quesdaillas

    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! 

    How to Cut Quesadillas

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

    Prep Time25 minutes
    Cook Time20 minutes

    Ingredients 

    • 2 chicken breasts, thinly sliced
    • 2 Tbsp homemade taco seasoning (or fajita seasoning)(Or make your own taco seasoning here.)

    I have a little problem. I cannot make a meal that costs more than $5. It’s unnatural, but my pocketbook thanks me.
