Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and bell peppers and cook until they are just beginning to soften, about 2 minutes. Remove from skillet with a slotted spoon and set aside. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Add chicken to the same skillet and cook until no longer pink on the outside, about 3 minutes. Return onion and bell peppers to the skillet. Stir in water and fajita seasoning. Cook and stir until the chicken has completely cooked through. (8 minutes)

04

Step

On a half sheet pan, place 6 tortillas around the edges of the pan so that about half of each tortilla hangs over the side. Place another tortilla in the center to cover the pan completely. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Using a slotted spoon, top with the chicken, onion, and pepper mixture in an even layer (being careful not to add too much liquid from the skillet). Finally, sprinkle cheese evenly over the chicken mixture. (7 minutes)

06

Step

Place another tortilla in the center on top of all fillings, then fold each tortilla over the toppings towards the center. Place a second half baking sheet on top of tortillas (this will help the quesadilla hold its shape). (5 minutes)

07

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove the top baking sheet and continue baking until the tortillas are golden and crispy, 8 to 12 more minutes. (22 minutes)

08

Step

Slice into rectangles and serve topped with sour cream, pico de gallo, and cilantro, if desired.

For a vegetarian option, substitute the chicken with black beans or seasoned tofu.
Feel free to customize the filling with your favorite ingredients, such as corn, olives, or different types of cheese.
To prevent the quesadillas from becoming soggy, make sure to drain any excess liquid from the chicken and vegetable mixture before adding it to the tortillas.
For extra crispy tortillas, brush them with melted butter or olive oil before baking.
