Equipment

  • Large Non-stick pan (or greased)
  • Flipper Spatula
  • Pizza Cutter
  • Whisk or Fork

Ingredients
  

  • 4 Tortillas Burrito Sized
  • 1 can Chicken Drained
  • 2 Bell Peppers Chopped
  • 2 Jalapenos Seeded and chopped
  • 12 oz Shredded Cheese Mexican Style

Quesadilla Sauce

  • 2 Tsp Taco Sauce 2 packets, seperated
  • ¼ Cup Mayonnaise

Instructions
 

Quesadilla Sauce

  • Combine 1 packet (1t) taco sauce with mayonnaise (¼C) and whisk to combine. Adjust with more taco sauce to taste.

Prepare Filling Ingredients

  • Wash, core, and deseed from the bell pepper. Slice in half. Over an open gas burner, char the inside and outside of each half. Two minutes on each side. Chop and set aside.
  • In a pan, combine the shredded chicken and fajita seasoning. Stir to combine and heat through, evaporating off any liquid. Set aside.

Make Quesadillas

  • Spread quesadilla sauce on one side of a tortilla. Over medium heat, lay the tortilla in the pan and sprinkle half with shredded cheese.
  • Layer in your other fillings and sprinkle more shredded cheese before closing the quesadilla. Heat the quesadilla for 3 minutes or until brown and crispy, then flip to toast the other side.
  • Once toasted, remove from heat and cut into 4 pieces with a sharp knife or pizza cutter. Serve with sour cream or plain greek yogurt. Enjoy!

Notes

  • These fillings are just a suggestion.  Layer in whatever fillings you want, get creative.  I do suggest seasoning meat and cooking vegetables for the best results.
