Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until just softened, about 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- 3
Add chicken to the same skillet and cook until no longer pink on the outside, about 3 minutes. Return onion and bell peppers to the skillet. Stir in water and fajita seasoning. Cook and stir until the chicken has completely cooked through.
- 4
Arrange 6 tortillas around the edges of a 1/4 sheet pan (9 x 13-inch) so half of each hangs over the sides; place 1 tortilla in the center to cover the bottom.
- 5
Spoon the chicken mixture evenly over the tortillas, avoiding excess liquid. Sprinkle the cheese evenly on top.
- 6
Place 1 tortilla in the center on top; fold the overhanging tortillas toward the center to enclose the filling. Set a second baking sheet on top to press (this helps the quesadilla hold its shape).
- 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove the top baking sheet and continue baking until the tortillas are golden and crisp, 8 to 12 more minutes.

Slice into rectangles and serve topped with sour cream, pico de gallo, and cilantro, if desired.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
