Fajita Quesadillas

Quesadillas are one of my go-to weeknight meal options because they’re fast and easy to make, plus everybody loves them! I can satisfy my family’s Mexican food cravings with some store-bought tortillas and a Mexican cheese blend, but it doesn’t take much to earn some extra smiles at the dinner table by kicking my quesadilla game up a notch!

Recently while wandering the freezer aisle of the grocery store I spotted a bag of pre-cooked grilled fajita meat. I have to admit I did a little happy dance because I knew in my heart that this was the start of a new and fancier quesadilla— the fajita quesadilla!

Fajita quesadillas are so simple to make and they require only a few ingredients. I usedhomemade tortillas this time around, but for the sake of simplicity, feel free to grab a package of your favorite store bought variety. Costco also sells raw tortillas that just need to be cooked and they’re amazing!!

What Do You Put In A Quesadilla?

Answer: Anything you want!

I like to sprinkle shredded cheese on top of a tortilla. Then I top the cheese with a sautéed onion and pepper mixture as well as some pre-cooked fajita meat. To finish off the quesadilla I sprinkle on a little more cheese and top it with another tortilla. Toast each quesadilla on an electric griddle until the cheese is melted and the inside is warm. Serve with salsa, sour cream and/or guacamole! A tasty dinner in just minutes!
