Instructions

Cook the chicken:
Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the chicken breast and cook it until it is golden brown and cooked through (about 6–8 minutes).
Season the chicken with salt, pepper, paprika and optional fajita seasoning. Add the peppers and the onions and cook for another 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are soft.
Making the quesadillas:
Heat a clean non-stick pan over a medium heat.
Put a layer of grated cheese onto one half of each tortilla, followed by the chicken and vegetable mixture and another layer of cheese. Fold the tortilla in half.
Put the quesadilla into the pan and cook it for 2-3 minutes on each side, until the tortilla is golden brown and crisp and the cheese has melted.
Making the guacamole:
In a bowl, mash the avocado with a fork until it has a thick but smooth consistency.
Add the chopped onion, the tomato, the lemon juice, salt and pepper. Mix well and add fresh coriander if you like.
To serve:
Quarter the quesadillas and serve them with the guacamole.
