These Chicken Fajita Quesadillas are a delicious and satisfying meal that combines the flavors of fajitas with the cheesiness of quesadillas. Tender chicken, sautéed peppers and onions, and melted cheese are folded in a tortilla and toasted to perfection. It's a quick and flavorful dish that the whole family will love.
In a large skillet, heat some cooking oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken and cook until it is cooked through and slightly browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
In the same skillet, add a little more oil if needed, and then add the sliced bell peppers and onions. Sauté them for about 5-6 minutes until they are tender and slightly caramelized. Add the minced garlic, fajita seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir well and cook for an additional minute.
Remove the pepper and onion mixture from the skillet and set it aside with the cooked chicken.
Wipe the skillet clean and return it to medium heat.
Place a tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle about 1/2 cup of shredded cheese evenly over one half of the tortilla.
Spoon a portion of the chicken, pepper, and onion mixture over the cheese. Fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling, pressing it gently with a spatula.
Cook the quesadilla for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Once cooked, transfer the quesadillas to a cutting board and let them rest for a minute before slicing them into wedges.
Serve the Chicken Fajita Quesadillas hot, with optional toppings such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream, or chopped cilantro.
