Ingredients

- Butter or Cooking Spray (A few pieces of butter to toast tortilla, or you can use cooking spray)
- ½ tsp Garlic powder
- ½ tsp Black pepper or Lemon black pepper
- ½ tsp Chili powder
- ½ tsp Onion powder
- 2 tsp Dash Southwest Chipotle seasoning
- 4 to 6 Flour Tortillas
- 1 Cup Mozzarella Cheese
- 1 Cup Cheddar Cheese
Fajita veggies:
- ½ Red onion
- ½ Red bell pepper
- ½ Green bell pepper
- Salt or Cajun seasoning (For taste)
- Oregano (For taste)
- Black pepper (For taste)
Instructions
- Prep your chicken beforehand. Drizzle a little bit of olive oil over the chicken. Season with the following spices: garlic powder, black pepper, chili powder, onion powder, and the Dash Southwest Chipotle seasoning.
- Mix all the spices into the chicken & allow the chicken to marinate for 10 to 15 minutes.
- While the chicken is marinating, clean & prep the veggies.
- Slice the onions & bell pepper into thin pieces.
- In a skillet over medium high heat, add some olive oil and allow the oil to get hot.
- Add the fajita veggies & season them with cajun seasoning, oregano, and black pepper.
- Sauté the veggies for 4 to 6 minutes or until they’re softened but still tender-crisp.
- Once the veggies are done, remove them from the skillet.
- Note: you may need to add an additional small drizzle of olive oil.
- Next, add the seasoned chicken & allow the chicken to fully cook. Stirring occasionally.
- Once the chicken has been properly cooked or is done, remove from the skillet.
- Then, in a separate or another skillet get ready to build & toast the quesadilla.
- Over medium high heat in a clean skillet, add a few pieces of butter and allow it to melt. (If you don't want to use butter, you can use cooking spray or a small drizzle of olive oil)
- Once the butter has melted add the tortilla.
- Build your quesadilla with the filling: add the cheese, veggies, chicken, then more cheese.
- Fold the tortilla and toast on one side or until golden.
- Then, flip the tortilla over and toast the other side.
- Allow the cheese to melt and the filling to get hot.
- Once the quesadilla has a nice crisp crust & is golden, remove it from the skillet.
- Cut the quesadilla into triangles and serve immediately. (Or keep the cooked quesadillas warm on a baking sheet in a 200-degree oven until ready to serve.)
- Serve with fresh salsa, guacamole, lime and/or sour cream.
