Chicken Fajita Quesadillas

OMG OMG OMG, I LOVE THESE!!! We love cooking as much Hispanic food around here as we can to get SS interested in all the cultures in his family. He doesn't get much exposure with his Mom, so we load up over here! Dora is beginning to make a presence in our home even. LOL. Peppers are our second favorite veggie next to broccoli, so I cook with peppers a ton. I'm always looking for new ways to cook with them, and found this. We make "sausage fajitas" a lot, so I thought it would be nice to make some actual fajitas. This was surprisingly easier than I anticipated and will probably be made again sometime soon. We LOVED them. SS ate all of his and Hubby asked me to make him seconds.

Ingredients:

Olive oil

Fajita mix

3 boneless skinless chicken breasts

1 red bell pepper

1 green bell pepper

2 onions

Taco blend cheese or cheddar cheese

Tortillas

Butter

Salsa and sour cream (optional)

Cut your onions, peppers, and chicken into long strips. Mix the chicken with 1 tbsp of fajita mix. With a little bit of olive oil, cook your chicken until no longer pink on the inside. A little bit of a char would be nice to really give it an authentic taste. Remove your chicken and wipe your skillet clean. Next, with a little bit of olive oil again, cook your onions until almost translucent. Add your peppers and the rest of the fajita mix. Mix will and cook slightly. Now add your chicken and let cook for a little bit longer. I covered my pan with a lid, off the heat, while I did the next step to keep it all warm and make sure the peppers were really cooked.

In a hot, clean skillet, add some butter and allow to melt. Place your tortilla in the pan and move it around so it gets covered in butter. You can choose to put your cheese on now, or after you fill with a layer of the fajita mix. Place a second tortilla on top and flip. I found it best to slid a little bit of butter under the new tortilla and shake the pan around to make sure it got crispy, too.

You can them serve with salsa and sour cream. We ate ours with our favorite Spanish rice. Like I said, these are amazing! I got a sweet taste from them, probably because of the butter on the tortillas. We all ate every last bite, and are still wishing there was some left. Also, a big thank you to my Hubby for plating this for me while I cooked some more. (: He then made us some dessert tortillas. A tortilla covered in butter, fried in a skillet, covered in cinnamon sugar. YUM. First thing he ever cooked for me when we were dating. We had fun during dinner listening to SS figure out how to say fajita quesadillas. He came up with a ton of variations. Bahida Quesadillas and fadillas were my favorites.

PLEASE, try these. You must. Tell me if you like them, and we can share the yumminess together. Your bellies will be super happy, I promise you.
