Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high. Add diced peppers and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes until softened.

  2. Step 2

    Stir in shredded chicken, diced tomatoes, and fajita seasoning. Cook 2 minutes until fragrant and warmed through.

  3. Step 3

    Push filling to one side. Lay a tortilla flat in the empty space and let it warm 30 seconds.

  4. Step 4

    Sprinkle cheese over the tortilla, then slide it onto a plate and fold in half while still warm.

  5. Step 5

    Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling until all four quesadillas are made.

  6. Step 6

    Wipe skillet clean. Return it to medium-high and sear folded quesadillas 1 minute per side until golden and crispy.
