Pinterest Recipe Success and Failure
I tried a Pinterest recipe this week. It was both a failure and a success.
I'll be honest with you - my fajitas just didn't have the flavor I was expecting. The kids gave it a thumb-sideways, as it wasn't spectacular, but wasn't horrible.
I gave it a little thought and realized this concoction would make a great filling for a quesadilla. And that is what we have eaten the past two nights in a row - delicious quesadillas!
Here is the recipe I made - keep in mind, this makes a ton - as the four of us ate fajitas one night and then had quesadillas for two nights - all from the same batch in the crockpot.
I altered the recipe a touch - based on what was in my kitchen.
ChickenFajitas Quesadillas in the Crockpot
chicken breast cutlets - 2 packs from grocery store
one onion
two bell peppers
1 can rotel (which is chopped tomatoes with chilis)
1 tsp oregano
1/4 c lime juice
1/4 c fajita flavoring
1 tsp kick-n-chicken seasoning
1 tsp cumin
salt
Place it all in the crockpot on low for 4 hours or on high for 2 hours.
To make the quesadillas,
Drain the meat and veggies really well so the quesadillas aren't runny
Add some cheddar cheese
Melt a 1/2 TBS of butter in a frying pan and saute the quesadilla until done.
Easy.
(if we had some spinach in the fridge, I would have added it)
I served with
Pico de gailio and sour cream
The kids gave the quesadillas a thumbs up!
Here is the original recipe from Six Sister's Stuff.
