Easy Chicken Fajita Quesadillas


I threw this together one night and was shocked at how great it was! I’ve found the meat to be more moist and have better flavor than a restaurant.

Ingredients:

1 16oz pkg of Chicken Fajita chicken Breast Strips
Fajita seasoning (I use the bottle)
½ onion
1 small can green chilies
¼ cup Vegetable Oil
1 8oz block of Monterey Jack Cheese
1 pkg flour tortillas

Directions: Heat up a skillet with ¼ cup vegetable oil. While that’s heating up, dice your onion and green chilies and throw into pan when hot. Add your chicken to the pan and coat everything with a generous amount of fajita seasoning. Cook 4-5 minutes or until chicken is done. (I like a little bit of black on mine). While that is cooking, start shredding your jack cheese. When your chicken mixture is done, set to the side.
Heat up another skillet on medium heat. I keep mine dry. While that pan is heating up, make your quesadilla to the side by placing a little bit of the shredded cheese on the bottom of one tortilla, then place some of the meat mixture on top of that, and then cover again with cheese. Place in the pan for about 30-60 seconds on each side or until Brown. Cut into pieces. Serve with salsa or sour cream. Serves 4-6.

Substitutes: You can substitute chicken with steak strips or ground beef seasoned with taco seasoning.
