Dairy-free, Gluten-free Chicken Veggie Stir-fry Quesadillas

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

These are a healthy and FILLING choice for lunch or dinner! I now live off them. You can make them in a snap- a must have for Mexican food lovers and kids!

Ingredients:
2 white corn tortillas
3 mini sweet peppers (try Disney Garden brand)
1 chicken breast tender
2 handfuls of shredded cheddar veggie cheese (in the produce aisle of Safeway)
1 tsp olive oil (or flavored olive oil)

1. Heat up oil in a small wok or pan. Cut chicken tender into small strips (1 in long, ½ in wide) and place in pan on medium heat.

2. Once one side of chicken has cooked, turn strips over. Cut sweet peppers into similar sized strips and scatter over chicken. Stir-fry on medium heat. When veggies are tender and chicken is full cooked, leave on low heat. (Want to spice it up? Throw in other veggies like hot peppers or onions)

3. Place two tortillas on a plate and scatter half of each with a handful of veggie cheese. Microwave for 1 minute to melt. Don’t cook any longer or cheese will become too tough.

4. Scatter veggies and chicken on top of cheese and fold tortillas in half. Using the remaining oil in the pan, place quesadillas on pan at medium heat for a minute each side (or more, until tortillas are slightly crispy). Enjoy with fresh guacamole, salsa, or vegan sour cream.

To make this meal even faster to prepare, cook several chicken breasts and veggies, and store leftovers in the fridge. Next day? Pop them in the microwave to reheat and continue from step 3!
