These chicken fajita quesadillas make a great meal or appetizer. They are simple to make and are full of flavor. Serve with your favorite salsa and sour cream, if desired.
1 lb. skinless, boneless chicken breasts, diced
1.27 oz. packet fajita seasoning
1 T. vegetable oil
1 c. corn kernels, drained
2 green bell peppers, chopped
2 red bell peppers, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
10 - 10 inch flour tortillas
8 oz. package shredded Cheddar or Tex Mex cheese
1 T. real bacon bits
8 oz. package shredded Monterey Jack cheese
salsa
sour cream
Preheat the broiler. Grease or spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
Wash chicken and pat dry with paper towels.
Toss chicken with the fajita seasoning; place evenly on the baking sheet; place under the broiler and cook until the chicken pieces are no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat; stir in the green bell peppers, red bell peppers, onion, corn and chicken. Cook and stir until the vegetables have softened, about 10 minutes.
Layer half of each tortilla with the chicken and vegetable mixture, then sprinkle with the cheddar cheese, bacon bits, and Monterey Jack. Fold tortillas in half; place on a baking sheet.
Bake quesadillas until the cheeses have melted, about 10 minutes.
