Chicken and Pepper Quesadillas with fresh peppers, seasoned chicken breast, cilantro and fresh lime.
Ingredients
  • 3 peppers, any color (I used orange, red and green)
  • 1 medium onion
  • jalapenos (optional)
  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 4 tablespoons fajita or taco seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • salt and pepper
  • 1/4 - 1/2 cup fresh cilantro - (I like more you might like less so therefore the range)
  • 2 cups Mexican cheese
  • butter
  • 8 tortillas
  • Serve
  • Sour cream
  • Lime wedges
  • Guacamole
  • Taco sauce
Instructions
  1. Slice the peppers and onions into thin strips.
  2. Cut the chicken into strips. Add the seasonings and stir them in. Set aside while you do the peppers.
  3. Add half of the oil to a large pan. Add the peppers and onion. Saute over medium heat until tender crisp. Remove from heat and set them aside.
  4. Add the remaining oil to the pan. Add the seasoned chicken. Let set until browned on one side and then stir the chicken. Finish cooking until just done through. Mix in with the peppers.
  5. Put a thin layer of butter on one side of the tortilla. Quickly put the unbuttered side down and leave for about 30 seconds and flip over to the buttered side. Add a handfull of cheese. Layer the chicken and peppers on top. Add more cheese and then the top tortilla. When the tortilla is browned carefully flip over to the other tortilla on the buttered side.
  6. When done cut into wedges using a pizza cutter or a knife. Serve with the desired toppings.
