Cheesy chicken fajita quesadillas are full of sauteed peppers and shredded chicken melted between hot buttery, crisp-edged tortillas.

Chicken Fajita Quesadilla

Crispy and delicious chicken quesadilla with peppers and onions make the perfect snack or quick meal at our house. I love the versatility of quesadillas.

Filled with all sorts of vegetables, meat, and cheese anything goes! Quesadillas are a great way to use up leftovers or stretch a few ingredients to feed a small crew.

There are a few super easy tricks to the BEST quesadillas. First, spread a light layer of real butter on both tortillas. Just like with grilled cheese when you butter the bread. Butter the tortilla.

Double up the cheese! There is no such thing as too much cheese. Well, maybe there is but I have not discovered that limit yet! Put cheese on the tortilla, add all your ingredients then sprinkle more cheese on before the top buttered tortilla.

Double melted cheese will keep your quesadilla together when flipping and serving. Not to mention the best part is all those crispy cheese edges that ooze out of the quesadilla.

For slicing quesadillas, I love my pizza cutter. It slices through without squishing out all of the filling and cheese. Or if that isn’t handy, for some reason it never makes it back to the same drawer. A long chef’s knife is perfect.

You just want to avoid anything serrated or a small knife where you have to “saw” through the quesadilla making a mess of the filling.

Chicken Fajita Quesadilla Recipe

Make chicken fajita quesadillas with just a few ingredients:

flour tortillas
butter
Mexican blend cheese
chicken
sauteed bell peppers and onions

Instructions

Lightly butter one side of each tortilla. Place one tortilla in a hot skillet over medium-high heat. Layer half of the cheese, chicken, peppers, and onions on the tortilla. Top with the remaining cheese. Place the second tortilla on top and cook for a minute or two.
When the cheese is melting and the tortilla facing the skillet begins to brown, use a large spatula to carefully flip the tortilla over and cook on the second side for a few minutes.
When everything has melted together and the tortillas are golden and crisp, remove the quesadilla from the skillet and slice it into wedges. Serve warm.

Vegetable Quesadillas are truly an awesome thing, my friends. Trust me, just try stuffing cheese and roasted vegetables between buttery crisp tortillas or making grilled cheese.

Crisp warm tortillas filled with melted cheese are made even better when you add a handful of mushrooms for a savory mushroom quesadilla.
