Time 40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons lime juice
1 package (0.85 oz) Old El Paso™ chicken taco seasoning mix
3 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb), cut into 1-inch pieces
6 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 medium bell peppers, chopped (about 2 cups)
1 medium red onion, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
1 package (11.5 oz) Old El Paso™ flour tortillas for burritos (8 tortillas, 8 inch)
2 cups shredded pepper Jack cheese (8 oz)
1 cup Old El Paso™ Thick 'n Chunky salsa
1/2 cup sour cream
1 medium avocado, pitted, peeled, sliced

Steps:

  • In small bowl, mix lime juice and taco seasoning mix; pour into gallon-size resealable food-storage plastic bag. Place chicken in bag; seal. Shake chicken until evenly coated.
  • In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of the oil over medium-high heat. Add bell peppers and onion; cook and stir 4 to 5 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Transfer vegetables to bowl.
  • Add 1 teaspoon of the oil to same skillet over medium heat. Add chicken; cook 4 to 6 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in center. Transfer to bowl with vegetables. Stir to combine. Wipe skillet clean with paper towels.
  • On half of each tortilla, layer 1/4 cup of the cheese and slightly less than 1/2 cup of the chicken and vegetable mixture. Fold tortillas in half. Brush top of each quesadilla with about 1/2 teaspoon of the oil.
  • Heat 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place 2 quesadillas in skillet, oil side down; brush top side with about 1/2 teaspoon of the oil. Cook about 1 minute or until light golden brown.
  • Carefully turn quesadilla; cook 1 to 2 minutes longer or until golden brown. Repeat with remaining quesadillas. Cut each quesadilla in half; serve with salsa, sour cream and avocado.

These quesadillas were a huge disappointment. They were dry and tasteless. I won't be making them again.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my quesadillas fell apart when I tried to flip them. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These quesadillas were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more seasoning next time.

I couldn't find fajita seasoning, so I used a combination of chili powder, cumin, and paprika. It worked great!

These quesadillas were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I'll drain the chicken more thoroughly next time.

I added some black beans and corn to these quesadillas to make them more filling. They were delicious!

I used a whole wheat tortilla to make these quesadillas healthier. They were still delicious, but they were a bit more chewy.

These quesadillas were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I think I'll use less chili powder next time.

I had some trouble getting the quesadillas to fold properly, but they still tasted great. I'll just need to practice a bit more.

I wasn't sure how the chicken fajita seasoning would taste in a quesadilla, but it was delicious! I'll definitely be making these again.

These quesadillas are a great way to use up leftover chicken. They're also a great option for a party or potluck.

I'm not a huge fan of chicken fajitas, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I'm so glad I did! These quesadillas are delicious. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the vegetables are perfectly cooked.

These quesadillas are amazing! I used a rotisserie chicken to save time, and they still turned out perfectly. The fajita seasoning is so flavorful.

Oh my goodness, these chicken fajita quesadillas are absolutely incredible! The combination of flavors is out of this world, and the quesadillas are so gooey and cheesy. I'll definitely be making these again and again.
