Easy Camping Chicken Fajita Quesadillas

So originally, I was going to make a chicken Fajita salad but I went to grab my lettuce out of the fridge, and it was frozen. In our camper we have a smaller fridge so it is pretty packed which can cause food to get frozen. So, in came the idea for the quesadillas which in my opinion were bomb! These Chicken Fajita Quesadillas are loaded with juicy seasoned chicken, sautéed peppers and onions, and plenty of melted cheese with my copycat taco bell quesadilla sauce. .https://simpleetasty.com/copycat-taco-bell-chicken-quesadillas-but-better/
