Chicken Fajitas Quesadillas

Pack a flavor punch with sauteed peppers and onions and rotisserie chicken!
Prep Time15 minutes minutes
Cook Time10 minutes minutes
Servings - 4 servings

Ingredients 

  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small white onion finely chopped
  • 2 small bell peppers seeded and chopped
  • 2 cups rotisserie chicken meat chopped
  • 1 Tbsp taco or fajita seasoning
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese blend
  • Fresh fruit or salad side dish

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 F. Lightly grease a cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a large skillet, saute the onion and peppers in the olive oil for 4 to 6 minutes. Once softened, mix in the chopped chicken and taco/fajita seasoning. Let simmer for a few minutes to allow flavors to combine.
  • Lay the tortilla on the baking sheet and sprinkle the shredded cheese blend onto half of the tortilla. (You will be folding the tortilla, so sprinkle a thin layer over half.) Top with the chicken and veggies mixture. Then sprinkle more shredded cheese on top of the beef. Fold the tortilla over to cover the cheese.
  • Repeat with the remaining 3 tortillas, chicken and shredded cheese. 4 half-folded tortillas should fit on a standard size cookie sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes, then carefully flip and cook another 5 minutes. You want both sides to be slightly golden and the cheese melted through.
  • Run a knife of pizza wheel through the quesadilla and cut into wedges.
  • Serve Chicken Fajita Quesadillas with side of fruit and/or salad.

P.S. Yes, that’s Chicken Fajita Nachos underneath the quesadilla – for the “gluten free” folks in the house. 🙂
