Ingredients
For this delicious Sheet Pan
Chicken Fajita Quesadilla recipe, you will need the following ingredients:
·
1 tablespoon olive oil
·
1 chopped onion
·
1 chopped green bell pepper
·
1 chopped red bell pepper
·
1 pound chopped skinless and boneless chicken breast
·
2 tablespoons water
·
1 package of fajita seasoning mix
·
8 flour tortillas
·
2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
·
4 tablespoons of sour cream for serving
·
4 tablespoons of pico de gallo or to taste
·
2 tablespoons of chopped fresh cilantro for garnish.
How to Make
1.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the
chopped onion and bell peppers and cook until they start to soften, about 3
minutes. Remove from the skillet with a slotted spoon and set aside.
3.
Add the chopped chicken to the same skillet and cook until it's
no longer pink on the outside, about 5 minutes.
4.
Stir in the fajita seasoning and water, then return the onion
and bell peppers to the skillet. Cook until the chicken is fully cooked, about
3 minutes.
5.
On a half sheet pan, arrange 6 flour tortillas around the edges
with half of each tortilla hanging over the sides and one tortilla in the
center to cover the entire pan.
6.
Spoon the chicken, onion, and pepper mixture evenly on the
tortillas, followed by the shredded cheese.
7.
Place another tortilla on top of the fillings and fold each
tortilla towards the center to form a quesadilla. Place another half sheet pan
on top to help it hold its shape.
8.
Bake for 10 minutes, then remove the top sheet pan and continue
baking for another 8 to 12 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden and
crispy.
9.
Serve the quesadillas sliced into rectangles, topped with sour
cream, pico de gallo, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro. Enjoy!
