Okay, I know there are a MILLION versions of chicken quesadilla recipes out there. This is just what I usually do when I make them at home. It is quick, easy, and delicious!
Chicken Quesadillas
10 flour tortillas (I get the fresh tortillas from the local HEB Market. They are fabulous!)
Chicken fajita-style meat
Mexican-blend Shredded Cheese
Mushrooms, sliced (about 8 ounces)
Tomatoes, seeded and diced
Olive oil
A few cloved of garlic, minced
Saute mushrooms and garlic in a little olive oil until mushrooms are browned. Remove from skillet and set aside. Place tortilla in skillet, layer in some cheese, meat, tomatoes, mushrooms, a little more cheese, and top with another tortilla. Heat on medium heat until the tortilla starts to brown and is a little crisp. Flip and do the same on the other side. Repeat until you’re out of ingredients. Serve and eat while warm.
I usually get the frozen, pre-cooked and seasoned fajita meat that I can just heat up in the microwave. You can cook your chicken from scratch if you want but cutting it into strips and sauteing in olive oil with some onions and peppers if you want. I’ve just never been that industrious and am quite happy with my pre-packaged fajita chicken.

I don’t care what anybody says, you can never have enough chicken quesadilla recipes. This looks good.

I’m with DeeDee, we love them here and can never have too many receipes for them. Sadly, we don’t have HEB but we do have Trader Joes and their chicken strips in the freezer section will work wonderfully!
Thanks for sharing.
