Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Slice the bell peppers and onion. If using chicken, grill it until fully cooked and then slice it into strips. If using steak, grill to desired doneness and slice thinly.

  2. 2

    Season the Chicken or Steak

    In a bowl, combine the sliced grilled chicken or steak with the fajita seasoning. Add olive oil, salt, and pepper, and mix well to coat.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Vegetables

    In a skillet over medium heat, add a little olive oil. Add the sliced bell peppers and onion, and sauté until they are soft and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 4

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    In the same skillet, lay down one flour tortilla. On one half of the tortilla, layer a portion of the seasoned chicken/steak, sautéed vegetables, and a generous amount of shredded cheese. Fold the other half of the tortilla over the fillings.

  3. 5

    Cook the Quesadilla

    Cook the quesadilla for about 3-4 minutes on each side over medium heat, until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve the Quesadillas

    Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve hot with guacamole and sour cream on the side.
