Servings: 9 quesadillas
Calories: 138kcal
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts (or 2 cups for cooked shredded chicken)
- ½ red pepper
- ½ green pepper
- ½ yellow pepper
- ½ onion
- 1 teaspoon fajita seasoning
- 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
- 3 tortilla wraps
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
- Boil the chicken breasts until cooked through, then use two forks to shred the chicken.
- Heat up the oil in a pan, then cut the onions and peppers into thin strips, and add them to the pan.
- Stir for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are soft, then add the shredded chicken and fajita seasoning and mix well to combine.
- Take the pan off the heat, then transfer the chicken fajita to a plate.
- Wipe the pan clean, then add a tortilla wrap to the pan, and spoon some of the chicken fajita on half of the tortilla, and top with grated cheese.
- Fold the the other half of the tortilla over and cook on a low to medium heat for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Cut the quesadillas into 3, then repeat with the remaining ingredients.
Notes
- You can make these chicken fajita quesadillas without fajita seasoning, I like using granulated garlic and paprika, they bring so much flavour to any dish, and I use them together often.
- Or, if you are not keen on Mexican flavours, how about adding some pesto too, for a nice kick? Chicken and pesto work very well together.
