How to Make Fajita Quesadillas:

As easy as these steps, you can enjoy your Fajita Quesadillas:

1. Saute: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, saute the onion and peppers by constantly stirring until tender. Avoid getting them overcooked to keep it crispy. Once done, remove from the pan and set aside.
2. Assemble: Using the same skillet, spray one side of the tortilla with oil and place the oiled on facing the pan. Oil keeps the tortilla crispy and avoids it from sticking to the pan. Have a layer of cheese-veggie-cheese then sandwich in with another tortilla. Put oil on the other side using spray as on the other.
3. Cook: Two minute cooking on each side makes the tortilla brown and its cheese stuff melts.
4. Cut: Slice the quesadilla into four and put desired toppings.
