Chicken Fajita Quesadillas

I love quesadillas, but I like to make them at home rather than order them from a restaurant. In my opinion, restaurants put too much cheese, and not enough chicken and bell peppers in their quesadillas. So… here is my all-time favorite way to make chicken fajita quesadillas. I love the red and green bell peppers because they are loaded in vitamins A and C.

Start with an onion and red and green bell peppers and chop them into thick slices.

Saute onions and peppers in 2 tablespoons of olive oil on medium-high heat until tender and starting to brown.

Assemble a flour tortilla with hot sauce, chicken, onions, peppers, and cheese.

Fold in half and smear each side of the tortilla with a thin layer of butter. Heat in skillet until golden brown on both sides.

Cut into wedges and enjoy! Top with sour cream, quacamole, or my favorite…more hot sauce!
