The ingredients needed to make Fried Fajita Chicken and Bacon Quesadillas:

I used boneless skinless chicken breasts but boneless skin-less thighs work great too. For the cheese, I used a blend of mozzarella and Monterey jack but ANY melting cheese works great in quesadillas.
Instructions to make Fried Fajita Chicken and Bacon Quesadillas:
- Cut the 8 strips of bacon in half. Cook bacon in skillet(your bacon of choice, I used turkey bacon). I cook my bacon with a lil crunch to it. If you use turkey bacon, I recommend putting a little vegetable oil in the bottom of the skillet, to prevent sticking, because turkey bacon doesn't produce a lot of grease.
- Take out the bacon after it's done cooking and set aside.
- I turn off the stove as I'm preparing each quesadilla in the skillet, to prevent any burning. Because sometimes I'm a little slow at preparing things, and I like to take my time. I turn the stove back on, when I'm done preparing the quesadilla and it is ready to be cooked.
- Add the flour tortilla to the skillet, with just enough oil to fry it.
- Add the bacon(4 slices), fajita chicken, hidden valley ranch, and fiesta cheese blend to the tortilla.
- With your spatula, fold the tortilla in half with everything in it. I hold the spatula on top of it, until the tortilla stays folded in half, then I flip it.
- I flip it probably 3 times before I take it out. Flip occasionally to prevent burning. Take out when slightly golden brown and all cheese is melted. Serve and enjoy.
I used boneless skinless chicken breasts but boneless skin-less thighs work great too. For the cheese, I used a blend of mozzarella and Monterey jack but ANY melting cheese works great in quesadillas. Heat vegetable oil or olive oil in a skillet over high heat.
