Chicken Fajita Quesadillas with Pico De Gallo Salsa are oohey gooey cheesy, spicy, colorful and amazing!  They are kind of like a Mexican or Tex-Mex version of a grilled cheese sandwich, except with flour tortillas instead of bread and with spicy pico de gallo and chicken in addition to the cheese.

Since I had made the pico de gallo salsa yesterday, and I had leftover fajita chicken, and I still wanted to celebrate Cinco de Mayo early, I decided to make these easy, stovetop Chicken Fajita Quesadillas with Pico De Gallo Salsa.

When we go out to eat Tex-Mex, Chicken quesadillas are one of Mr. Flavor Mosaic’s favorite dishes to order.  Usually they are on the menu as an appetizer, but he orders them as his main meal.

These Chicken Fajita Quesadillas with Pico De Gallo Salsa are a great way to use up leftover chicken. Rotisserie chicken will work well also.  Plus you can customize it to use your favorite vegetables.  Sometimes I add spinach to veg it up.  This is a great recipe for sneaking in vegetables.

Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 flour tortillas
  • 2 cups cheddar (or Mexican blend) cheese, shredded
  • ½ lb cooked fajita chicken breast, diced or shredded
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped

Instructions
  1. In a skillet over medium heat, add oil. Place a flour tortilla in the skillet. Top with about a ½ cup cheese. Add ½ of the fajita chicken, red and green bell peppers, and pico de gallo salsa on top of the tortilla. Sprinkle with ½ cup shredded cheese. Place the other tortilla on top. After about 2 minutes, or when cheese is starting to melt, with a large spatula, very carefully turn the quesadilla over. Cook for about 1 or 2 minutes until the cheese is melted. Be careful not to let the bottom tortilla burn. Very carefully, with the large spatula, place on a plate. Cut into 4 wedges and serve.
  2. Repeat above instructions for second quesadilla.
  3. Garnish with sour cream, shredded cheese, and pico de gallo.
