Equipment

Ingredients

4 cups shredded chicken
1 packet taco seasoning or fajita seasoning
14 ounces frozen onion and bell peppers about 3 ½ cups, thawed and well drained
8 large flour tortillas
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
2 green onions thinly sliced

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F.
In a medium skillet add the chicken, taco seasoning, and ½ cup of water. Cook over medium high heat until the water evaporates.
Brush one side of each tortilla with oil.
Lay 6 tortillas, oil side down, on a 18 x 13" baking sheet, half hanging off. Place another tortilla in the center.
Top with the chicken mixture, thawed onion and pepper blend, and sprinkle the cheese and green onions.
Add the remaining tortilla in the center and fold the bottom tortillas up to seal.
Place another baking sheet on top and bake for 15 minutes until edges start to crisp.
Remove the top sheet and bake for an additional 7 to 10 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
Rest for 5 minutes before cutting.

Notes

Note: To use fresh peppers and onions, chop 1 large bell pepper and 1 medium onion. Cook in a skillet with oil until tender. Other additions to these quesadillas include black beans or pinto beans or jalapeno peppers.
