Equipment

  • 1 Stove Top

Ingredients

  • 8 Flour Tortillas
  • 2 cups leftover chicken and vegetables fajitas
  • 2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Cooking spray
  • Sour cream and salsa for serving

Instructions

  • Reheat the leftover chicken and vegetable fajita filling until luke warm.
  • Once the fajita filling is semi-cooked place 4 flour tortillas on the countertop. Divide the leftover chicken fajita filling among the four flour tortillas, then divide the cheese (½ cup on each tortilla), spreading both filling and cheese evenly.
  • Heat up a large sauté pan on medium-high heat and spray with cooking spray. Place one of the filled tortillas in the pan. Then add another flour tortilla on top. Cook for 3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown but not burnt. Using two spatulas, carefully flip over (trying not to spill out the contents of the quesadilla). Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
  • Remove from sauté pan, cut and serve. Repeat until all the quesadillas have been cooked. Serve with sour cream and salsa.
