DIRECTIONS

1. *Note: This recipe is easiest to make using leftover chicken and veggies from The Best Fajitas. If you are using leftover chicken and veggies, skip to step 5.
2. Add all of the marinade ingredients to your blender and blend on high for a few seconds until you have a smooth marinade. In a large zip-lock bag, add your chicken and pour the marinade over it. Toss the bag around a few times to ensure that the meat is coated. Put the bag in the refrigerator for around 3-4 hours.
3. When you’re ready to cook the chicken, heat your grill pan (my favorite grill pan) to medium high heat and cook the chicken for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through to about 165 degrees. Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
4. While the chicken is resting, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Saute’ the vegetables until tender. Season with salt, pepper, 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce, and the juice from half of a lime.
5. Heat your grill pan to medium high heat and divide the chicken/veggie mixture equally into 6 portions.
6. Sprinkle about 1/4 cup cheese on one tortilla. Top with 1/6th of the meat/veggie mixture. Sprinkle 1/4 cup more cheese on top. Add the remaining tortilla on top. Cook the quesadilla until it is golden brown on both side and the cheese is gooey and melted. This should take about 4 minutes per side.I like to use my spatula to press down on the quesadilla as it’s cooking to really smoosh everything together.
7. Cut each quesadilla into quarters. Serve with salsa, guacamole, and sour cream.
8. Serves 6.
