I am a HUGE lover of fajitas and Mexican wraps. A great fajita night is in my top 5 favourite meals. These quesadillas have the flavours of a fab fajita but with a crunchy shell. Also, a great way to use up some stale tortilla or corn wraps.
You can add as many vegetables as you like to these quesadillas. I have tried some butternut squash in addition to the others are that is super tasty too!

- STEP 4Lay out your tortilla wraps and add the mixture to the top of two of them then spread the mixture out to the edges
