Chicken Fajita Quesadillas

We had Ciera's birthday party last weekend.  One of the snack items we supplied were these little itty bitty sweet peppers.  They were so cute, I couldn't help but buy them.  However, they didn't all get eaten, and I didn't want them to go to waste, so I made fajitas.  Then I made the fajita filling into a quesadilla.



So, I chopped up a bunch of these little peppers into thin slices, no measurements here, its as many peppers as you want to have in it.  When I use normal sized peppers, I usually use one green and one red.  Then I slice into thin slices one large onion. 



I put these into my skillet with about 2 tablespoons of oil, and I cook until slightly charred and translucent.



After this, I take chicken tenders I have boiled in taco seasoning until done.  You can use as much chicken as you want here again, I used about 10 chicken tenders.  I chopped this into small bite sized pieces, and tossed it in with the onions and peppers.  Then I added half a cup of garlic lovers salsa, though you can use the salsa of your choice.



One this was all combined and blended, I took it off the heat and put another pan on the stove.  I put a teaspoon of oil in it, and waited until it shimmered.  Then I plopped a tortilla into the pan, gently, and spun it around to make sure it was all the way coated with oil.  Then I put a handful of grated cheddar cheese on the tortilla and spread it around the whole thing.  I then took about half a cup of my fajita mixture and spread it over half.  I wated for it to get crispy on one half, and then turned it over, and got it crispy on the other.



Once this was done, I let it rest about a minute or two so that the cheese stops being quite so gooey.  Then I top it with sour cream and homemade guacamole.

YUM!!
