  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) vegetable oil
  • 1 lb (500 g) boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
  • 1 green or red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 pkg Old El Paso* Smart Fiesta* Reduced Sodium Fajita Seasoning Mix
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) water
  • 1 pkg Old El Paso* Smart Fiesta* made with Whole Grain Tortillas (8 tortillas)

  • 2 cups (500 mL) shredded reduced fat Cheddar cheese
  • Old El Paso* Thick N' Chunky Salsa (optional)
  • Reduced Fat or Fat Free Sour Cream (optional)

  • Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook and stir 3 to 5 minutes until no longer pink inside; drain excess liquid.
  • Stir in diced peppers, seasoning mix and water. Simmer uncovered 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat.
  • Evenly divide chicken mixture over half of each tortilla. Sprinkle each with 1/4 cup (50 mL) shredded cheese; fold over to make half-moon shape, pressing lightly.
  • Cook quesadillas in an ungreased, nonstick skillet 3 to 4 minutes per side or until tortilla is browned and crisp and filling is hot. Cut into wedges and serve with salsa and sour cream for dipping, if desired.

    Tip: Try grilling on the barbecue for added flavour.
