Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fajita Filling

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and bell peppers, and sauté for about 5 minutes until they are soft.

  2. 2

    Add Protein

    Add the sliced chicken or steak to the skillet with the vegetables. Season with salt and black pepper, and cook until heated through, about 3-5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    On one half of a large flour tortilla, layer shredded cheese, the fajita mixture, and diced tomatoes. Fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.

  4. 4

    Cook the Quesadilla

    In the same skillet, add the folded quesadilla and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Cut the quesadilla into wedges and serve hot with rice, beans, lettuce, and sour cream on the side.
