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

    Cup of Yum
  1. Boil the chicken breasts until cooked through, then use two forks to shred the chicken.
  2. Heat up the oil in a pan, then cut the onions and peppers into thin strips, and add them to the pan.
  3. Stir for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are soft, then add the shredded chicken and fajita seasoning and mix well to combine.
  4. Take the pan off the heat, then transfer the chicken fajita to a plate.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
