instructions
    1

    Start by slicing the chicken breast, bell pepper, and onion into thin strips.

    2

    In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes.

    3

    Add the sliced chicken to the skillet and sprinkle the fajita seasoning over the top. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink.

    4

    Next, add the sliced bell pepper and onion to the skillet and sauté everything together for another 4-5 minutes, until the veggies are softened.

    5

    Remove the skillet from heat and set aside the chicken-vegetable mixture.

    6

    In another skillet, place a tortilla and sprinkle a quarter cup of cheese on one half of the tortilla.

    7

    Spoon the chicken and vegetable mixture on top of the cheese, and then top with another quarter cup of cheese.

    8

    Fold the tortilla over to make a half-moon shape. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden and the cheese is melted.

    9

    Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling.

    Once all quesadillas are cooked, cut them into wedges and serve hot!
