Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pound chicken breast, boneless and skinless, cut into small bite size pieces
  • 1.4 ounce fajita seasoning
  • 5 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 red bell pepper, washed, dried, deseeded and diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, washed, dried and deseeded and diced
  • 1 cup yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 4 large burrito size flour tortillas
  • 3 cups fiesta blend cheese, shredded

Instructions

  1. Add the chicken to a medium size bowl.
  2. Toss the chicken with fajita seasoning and 2 tablespoons olive oil until evenly coated. Set aside.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Cook the seasoned chicken for 6–8 minutes until fully cooked and no longer pink. Transfer to a bowl.
  5. In the same skillet, cook the bell peppers and onion until softened and the onion is translucent.
  6. Return the chicken to the skillet and stir to combine. Heat through, then transfer back to the bowl.
  7. Reduce heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet.
  8. Place one tortilla in the skillet.
  9. Sprinkle 3/4 cup cheese over half of the tortilla.
  10. Add one-quarter of the chicken and vegetable mixture on top of the cheese.
  11. Fold the tortilla in half over the filling.
  12. Cook until golden brown on one side, then flip and cook the other side, about 1–3 minutes per side.
  13. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
  14. Transfer to a cutting board, slice into triangles, and serve hot.

Notes

  • Use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken to save time.
  • Add jalapeños or hot sauce for extra spice.
  • Serve with sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in a skillet for best texture.
