    Just remember that the chicken needs to marinate for 30 minutes, so plan accordingly if you are making them from scratch for dinner. 😉 The actual Chicken Fajita Quesadilla is so, so simple to prepare!

    How to make Chicken Fajita Quesadilla:

    Butter one side of (8) fajita size, flour tortillas, and set aside.....

    Grate your choice of cheeses.....

    I used sharp and white cheddar because I have to, they do not contain lactose. Feel free to use Monterey Jack, Quesadilla cheese, or whatever cheese your family likes.

    Heat skillet over medium-high heat. Place one tortilla butter side down on skillet.....

    As I mentioned, I used my favorite Chicken Fajitas recipe...but I added thin tomato wedges to the mixture about a minute before it was done cooking. Because I used tomato, I decided to use green, yellow, and orange bell peppers...but you can use any color combination that you like. 🙂

    A Classic Margarita would go quite nicely with this meal. I really should have thought of that earlier. 😉

      Quesadillas are the best! So easy to make and I love to use leftovers to make. I see you are going to Blended and hope to meet you there! I missed meeting you at SoFab LA last year (that was so much fun) so I am going to find you at this conference!
