Equipment

  • Measuring Cups
  • 1 Frying Pan
  • 1 Stove Top
  • Cutting Board
  • Knife

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon Grapeseed Oil
  • 8 6-inch Fajita Size Flour Tortillas
  • 2 cup shredded cheddar cheese divided
  • 1 cup leftover fajita chicken
  • ½ cup leftover fajita peppers and onions

Instructions

  • Reheat the leftover chicken and vegetable fajita filling until warm but not hot (preferably in a microwave for ease of speed).
  • Once the fajita filling is warm, heat a frying pan on medium heat.
  • Add a teaspoon of oil to the pan. Then add 1 tortilla. Top with a handful of shredded cheese, diced chicken, fajita veggies, and more cheese. Add another flour tortilla on top. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom is brown, then carefully flip the quesadilla over and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  • Remove from frying pan, cut and serve. Repeat until all the quesadillas have been cooked. Serve with sour cream.

Notes

  • Toppings - Sky is the limit for toppings; sour cream, salsa, guacamole, even queso!
  • Leftover fajitas - This recipe works with vegetarian style fajitas, steak, shrimp, even pork!
  • Dietary Restrictions - Have a dietary restriction? Try these substitutions:
    • Gluten Free - Use gluten free tortillas.
    • Dairy Free - Swap for a dairy free cheese.
