Preparation
1
Cook Chicken

  • Open package of chicken* and drain off any excess liquid.

  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken in a single layer; season with half the Fajita Spice Blend (you'll use the rest in the next step), a pinch of salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. 

     

  • Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired. Turn off heat; transfer chicken to a plate. Wash out pan. 

  • Rinse shrimp* under cold water, then pat dry with paper towels. Swap in shrimp for chicken. 

2
Warm & Mash Beans

  • While chicken cooks, drain and rinse beans

  • In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine beans, stock concentrate, remaining Fajita Spice Blend, 2 TBSP water, 1 TBSP butter, ½ tsp salt, and pepper (4 TBSP water, 2 TBSP butter, and 1 tsp salt for 4 servings). Cover tightly with plastic wrap and microwave until beans are warmed through, 2-3 minutes.

  • Mash about half the beans with a potato masher or fork. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired. TIP: If you added any other items to your meal (apps, sides, and/or dessert), you can get started on them now!

     

3
Assemble & Cook Quesadillas

  • Arrange tortillaschickenbeans, and Mexican cheese blend family style for everyone to assemble their own quesadillas.  

  • Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for chicken over medium heat. Add quesadillas and cook on one side until golden brown, 2-3 minutes.

  • Carefully flip quesadillas; cook until golden brown and cheese melts, 1-2 minutes more. TIP: Work in batches if needed, adding another drizzle of oil between batches and reducing heat if quesadillas start to brown too quickly.

4
Finish & Serve

  • Halve quesadillas

  • Serve quesadillas with sour creamguacamole, and hot sauce on the side. (Don't forget to serve with any extra items you may have ordered to build out your meal!)
