Fajita Quesadillas Recipes

Steps:

• Slice the chicken breasts into strips, about an inch apart, and coat with taco seasoning. In a large skillet, heat 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil and cook chicken until no longer pink and slightly charred. Remove cooked chicken from the skillet.
• Heat another Tbsp. oil, add onion and garlic and cook for a couple minutes until it's slightly translucent. Add the peppers, and cook slightly, then mix in the cooked chicken. Remove from heat and set aside.
• In a clean pan, melt a bit of butter. Add a tortilla and move it around until it's buttery. Add cheese, then fajita mixture, then more cheese, then top with another tortilla and pat it down.
• Flip the quesadilla over and cook the other side until it's golden. Remove from pan and cut into quarters. Repeat these steps with the remaining tortillas.
• Enjoy!

• In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of the oil over medium-high heat. Add bell peppers and onion; cook and stir 4 to 5 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Transfer vegetables to bowl.
• Add 1 teaspoon of the oil to same skillet over medium heat. Add chicken; cook 4 to 6 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in center. Transfer to bowl with vegetables. Stir to combine. Wipe skillet clean with paper towels.
• On half of each tortilla, layer 1/4 cup of the cheese and slightly less than 1/2 cup of the chicken and vegetable mixture. Fold tortillas in half. Brush top of each quesadilla with about 1/2 teaspoon of the oil.
• Heat 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place 2 quesadillas in skillet, oil side down; brush top side with about 1/2 teaspoon of the oil. Cook about 1 minute or until light golden brown.
• Carefully turn quesadilla; cook 1 to 2 minutes longer or until golden brown. Repeat with remaining quesadillas. Cut each quesadilla in half; serve with salsa, sour cream and avocado.

Steps:

• Cut flank steak into strips 1/4-inch wide and 3 inches long and marinate in Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke, juice of 1 lime and garlic for 20 minutes.
• (Note: boneless skinless chicken breasts should be "fileted" in half before cutting into 1/4x3-inch strips).
• While meat is marinating, cut onion and bell pepper into 1/4-inch wide strips and heat in non-stick skillet with oil until they begin to sweat (don't let them become too soft).
• Remove them to a paper plate to drain.
• Drain meat and brown in same skillet until done.
• Remove to paper plate to drain.
• Wipe out the skillet so it is dry and begin to reheat it over a medium heat.
• Take one tortilla and put a small amount of grated cheese, 1/4 of the meat (or amount to suit), onion and bell pepper to suit and cover with another small amount of grated cheese and top with a tortilla.
• Carefully put "tortilla sandwich" in the heated dry skillet and cook until cheese melts (about 60-90-120 seconds). Flip and cook on other side same amount of time.
• Tortilla will take on a lovely "tanned" appearance and become just slightly crispy.
• This dinner sounds involved but is actually quite simple and very quick.
• Kids and adults both will love it served with iced tea, pico de gallo, guacamole and salsa.
• Enjoy!
