Country Quesadillas (Not a GF Recipe)

Quesadillas! The family loves them! Quick & Simple, nutritious with the right ingredients. Today we used:

1 onion, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
packaged fajita chicken strips
pepper jack cheese
tortillas
olive oil spray
grapeseed oil

Heat grapeseed oil over medium heat. Use just enough to coat your ingredients, maybe 2 T.
Add the sliced onion and pepper.
Saute until done. I prefer browned, with the onions starting to caramelize.
While the veggies are cooking, it's time to steep some tea.
And it's time to decide what to serve on the side. I had some beans in the freezer (remember that muffin cup trick?) so I put a few servings in the double boiler to thaw and heat.
Once veggies are cooked to your liking, toss in a few handfuls of prepared fajita chicken. Of late, we use TJ Farms. Now that the filling is ready, it's time to prep the tortilla. Lightly spray one side and place on hot griddle for just a few minutes until hot and beginning to brown. Spray top side and flip.

Spread flling on half of tortilla and sprinkle with cheese. How much cheese you use is up to you. Keep in mind its calorie-full unless you use the fat free kind.When the underside is browned to your liking, fold in half. Serve hot with beans and a tall glass of iced tea.
Enjoy!!
