If a fajita and a quesadilla had babies, they would have fajita quesadillas and possibly the best Mexican dish I have ever made. Not only was this recipe one of the tastiest dishes but it was super-fast and easy. Whenever Brian goes to a Mexican restaurant, without looking at the menu you know what he is going to order, fajitas. Don’t be the person sitting next to him because you will not have a place for your own plate. The chicken, peppers and onion come out sizzling, which is hazard, and there are never enough tortillas. You can serve these whole, in quarters, or cut them into sticks. Whichever way you decide to cut them, everyone will win.
