Chicken Fajita Quesadilla combines two of my favorite things:
Fajitas and Quesadillas! This is an easy recipe for a cheesy, flavorful
chicken quesadilla made in just minutes! (Thanks to Johnsonville for
sponsoring this post!)
One of my favorite go-to dinners is Chicken Fajitas.
It’s also one of my favorite things to order at a Mexican food
restaurant! I love the combination of onions, peppers, meat and toppings
inside tortillas. But I also love a cheesy quesadilla, too. So I
thought, why not combine the two and make a Chicken Fajita Quesadilla?!
Besides the cheesy goodness of this Chicken Fajita Quesadilla, the
best part of this quesadilla is how quick it is to make. Mostly because I
used Johnsonville’s newest line of meat, and no, it’s not sausage! It’s
their new fully-cooked chicken product, Flame Grilled Chicken! It’s available in five flavor varieties and tastes amazing!
Made free of fillers with no added MSG, artificial preservatives,
flavors or colors, this is a product that tastes great and is also good
for you. Each chicken breast is 80-130 calories and offers 18 grams or
more of protein. Each portion is flame-grilled over open flame and then
individually wrapped in 3 ounce portions to ensure freshness and offer
convenient preparation (requires less than two minutes in the
microwave!).
Every chicken breast is packaged with its own juices and is so
flavorful and super tender, too! Johnsonville’s new line is available in
five varieties: Garlic & Herb, Teriyaki, Black Pepper & Sea
Salt, Southwestern and Honey Mustard.
I decided to use the Johnsonville’s Flame Grilled Southwestern Chicken Breast
for my Chicken Fajita Quesadilla. It saved me a lot of time because all
the flavors are already packed in the chicken and the cook time is
minimal.
I can’t say enough great things about this recipe. I was so excited
to share it with you because I loved it so much! I can’t wait to make
these again and again! I can never get enough Mexican food. I love how
quick these were to whip up. The perfect quick, easy, healthy, delicious
lunch or dinner!
Ingredients
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 onion, diced
¾ tsp. chili powder
½ tsp. garlic salt
fresh cracked pepper
1 (9-oz) bag Johnsonville Flame Grilled Southwestern Chicken Breasts
Mexican Blend Cheese
Tortillas
Instructions
Add
a little olive oil to a skillet and then add diced onion and bell
peppers. Cook on medium heat until softened, stirring frequently. Add
chili powder, garlic salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Remove onions and
peppers from skillet and onto a plate.
Wipe
the skillet clean and add Johnsonville Flame Grilled Southwestern
Chicken Breasts and liquid from pouch into skillet. Add ½ cup water and
cover. Cook on medium heat for 6-8 minutes, or until chicken is warmed
through.
Take
chicken out of skillet and dice it up. Wipe skillet clean and spray
with cooking spray. Place a tortilla down, sprinkle with cheese, add
chicken and peppers, another sprinkle of cheese and one more tortilla to
the top. Cook on medium heat until bottom tortilla is browned (I like
to place a heavy skillet over the top to smash down the quesadilla).
Before
you flip the quesadilla, spray the top tortilla with cooking spray.
Carefully flip over and brown the other tortilla. When browned, take out
of skillet and slice into triangles. Serve and enjoy!
