Assemble the Quesadilla
Place a flour tortilla in a clean skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle about 1/2 cup of shredded cheese evenly over the tortilla. Add a generous portion of the fajita filling on top of the cheese, then sprinkle another 1/2 cup of cheese on top of the filling. Top it with another tortilla.

Cook the Quesadilla
Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and the cheese has started to melt. Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the other side is golden brown and the cheese is completely melted.

Slice and Serve
Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for a minute. Slice into wedges and serve hot with sour cream, guacamole, and salsa on the side.
