Description

Directions

• OVEN-BAKED METHOD:
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Mix all of the ingredients for the fajita seasoning in a bowl
• and set aside.
• Cut the onion and bell peppers into strips. Place them in a large 13x9 baking dish. Slice the
• chicken breast into thin strips and add it to the baking dish with the vegetables.
• Sprinkle the seasoning over the meat and vegetables. Drizzle the vegetable oil over
• everything and then use your hands to toss the ingredients until they are well coated. Bake
• for 35-40 minutes, stirring once half way through.
• ALTERNATE SKILLET METHOD:
• In a bowl, sprinkle fajita seasoning over the chicken and toss to coat the chicken.
• In a large skillet, heat 1 Tbsp of vegetable oil over medium/medium-high heat, and add the chicken.
• Saute the chicken for 7-10 minutes until its fully cooked and golden brown and slightly charred.
• Remove chicken from skillet to rest on a plate.
• Add the remaining Tbsp of vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the onion and peppers to the skillet and saute for about 5 minutes, until softened.
• Add the chicken to the skillet, mix with peppers and onions and cook for about 1 minute.
• TO MAKE THE QUESADILLAS:
• Add a bit of butter or oil to a large skillet and heat over medium heat. Add 1 flour tortilla, sprinkle one half of the tortilla with a little cheese, then add a handful of cooked chicken fajitas, and top with another sprinkle of cheese.
• Fold the other half over to create a half circle. Pat down with a spatula. Cook for a few minutes, until golden brown on the bottom.
• Carefully flip the quesadilla over to cook the other side until golden brown. Remove to a plate, slice and serve.
• Serve garnished with lime wedges and fresh cilantro.
• Serve with whatever dips youd prefer.
