• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Quesadillas:

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, combine chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to make the fajita seasoning.
2. Season the thinly sliced chicken breast with half of the fajita seasoning, tossing to coat evenly.
3. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken slices to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes until cooked through and browned. Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and set aside.

5. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables and toss to combine. Remove from heat and set aside.
6. To assemble the quesadillas, place a large flour tortilla on a clean surface. Sprinkle a layer of shredded Monterey Jack cheese over half of the tortilla.
7. Spoon a generous portion of the chicken fajita filling over the cheese layer.
8. Top with another layer of shredded cheese and fold the tortilla in half to enclose the filling.
9. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the assembled quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
10. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
11. Once cooked, remove the quesadillas from the skillet and let them cool slightly before slicing into wedges.

Sounds so delicious! And I really love any flavors of qusadillas especially when its cheesy. This recipe doesn't have any cheese but I will add cheese for a cheesy and creamy taste and I think that would be more delicious!
