Ingredients
- 8 mini street taco flour tortillas
- 1 lbs fajita blackened chicken strips
- 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese or cheese of choice
- ⅔ cup guacamole
- 3 tbsp olive oil or other neutral oil for frying
For serving
- Queso
- shredded lettuce
- Pico de Gallo
- Sliced Jalapenos
Instructions
- If the ingredients are not already prepared beforehand, take time to do that first. Make the guacamole, cook/slice the chicken, shred the cheese.
- Use a rubber spatula to spread a thin layer of guacamole on the tortilla. Repeat for all 8 tortillas. Think of the guacamole as the ‘glue’ to the tortilla. There needs to be enough so when folded, it sticks together.
- Next, add the sliced chicken to one side of the tortilla.
- Add shredded cheese on top of the chicken, then fold the tortilla in half. Repeat for remaining quesadillas.
- Heat a skillet to medium heat. Add in oil and allow it to heat. Once it starts to sizzle, add the quesadillas and let them cook 3-4 minutes on each side.
- Once they’re golden brown and the cheese is melted, flip them (you may need to add more oil to prevent sticking or burning).
- Serve the quesadillas with leftover guacamole, shredded lettuce, queso cheese, and fresh pico! Best enjoyed warm.
Notes
- Store them wrapped in tinfoil (once completely cooled!) for up to 3 days.
