New Recipe: JC Chicken Fajita Quesadillas

HOLY MEXICAN DELICIOUSNESS!

I truly have NO IDEA why I don't eat the JC Fajitas more often.  Every time I do, I'm amazed by how good they are. I modify them differently each time (i.e. my previously posted JC Enchilada creation), but this one.... this one might be my ABSOLUTE favorite!

Close-Up

One of the fabulous ladies on the JC Forums mentioned that she makes the JC Fajitas into Quesadillas, and I couldn't resist trying it out.  

JC Chicken Fajita Quesadilla

Serves 1

1 bag of Jenny Craig Chicken Fajitas

1 Wedge of Laughing Cow Cheese - Light Queso Fresco and Chipotle Flavor

1-2 Tbsp. Kraft Fat Free Shredded Cheddar Cheese

Penzey's Fajita Seasoning (optional)

Cook the fajitas in a skillet per the package directions until the chicken and veggies have browned.  

Remove to a separate bowl and toss with the Penzey's Fajita Seasoning.  (Note:  You can also use the seasoning packet that JC provides, but I prefer Penzey's seasoning because it's a little tastier!)

Thaw the tortillas per the package directions (I did mine in the skillet I used to cook the chicken.)  Take one DELICIOUS wedge of the Laughing Cow Cheese and split it in half lengthwise.  Spread half on each one of the tortillas.  

I felt like I needed some meltable cheese on the quesadilla too, so I added about 1-2 Tbsp of Fat Free Cheddar Cheese (split between the two tortillas.)  Assemble the quesadilla by piling the fajita mixture onto each tortilla, and then fold each tortilla in half.  Coat the pan with cooking spray and add the quesadilla.  Turn after a few minutes and cook on the other side.

It's done when you peek at the insides and it's fabulously gooey and melted... MMMMMmmmm.

Put it on a plate and cut it into triangles with a pizza cutter.  ENJOY!

I can't even begin to tell you how good this is.  The Laughing Cow Cheese melts up really well, and tastes amazing.  It's also really filling!  I dare you to eat this just once.  I'm totally having it tomorrow night again!

Let me know what you think when you try it out!
