Chicken Fajita Quesadillas

The quesadilla is a good go-to option for LBA and SoBA when a quick lunch is needed.  In fact, the quesadilla often makes an appearance as leftovers in one of their lunches, if there was any left after those two growing boys are done.

I am partial to the Fajitas when I go to a Mexican restaurant.  This recipe combines the best of both worlds.  Via BuzzFeed.

Chicken Fajita Quesadillas
Ingredients

• 3 Chicken Breasts
• 2 Tbsp. Taco Seasoning 
• 2 Tbsp. Vegetable Oil 
• 1 Onion, sliced 
• 4 Cloves Garlic, sliced 
• 3 Bell Peppers, sliced 
• 1 Lime, juiced 
• 8 Tortillas 
• 2 Tbsp. Butter 
• 2 Cups Mexican Cheese Blend 

Directions

1. Slice the chicken breasts into strips, about an inch apart, and coat with taco seasoning. In a large skillet, heat 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil and cook chicken until no longer pink and slightly charred. Remove cooked chicken from the skillet.
2. Heat another Tbsp. oil, add onion and garlic and cook for a couple minutes until it’s slightly translucent. Add the peppers, and cook slightly, then mix in the cooked chicken. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. In a clean pan, melt a bit of butter. Add a tortilla and move it around until it’s buttery. Add cheese, then fajita mixture, then more cheese, then top with another tortilla and pat it down.
4. Flip the quesadilla over and cook the other side until it’s golden. Remove from pan and cut into quarters. Repeat these steps with the remaining tortillas.

• Optional - Serve with sour cream, guacamole, and salsa. Enjoy!
