Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the Filling: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add red and green bell peppers and onions. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until softened.
Add Chicken and Seasoning: Stir in shredded chicken and fajita seasoning. Cook for another 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Roll the Crescents: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate into triangles. Place 1-2 tablespoons of chicken fajita mixture on the wider end of each triangle. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
Shape the Rolls: Roll the crescent dough from the wide end, pinching the edges to seal. Place rolls on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and flaky.
Serve: Serve warm with sour cream, cilantro, and optional salsa for dipping.

Notes

For a vegetarian option, replace chicken with black beans, sautéed mushrooms, or roasted vegetables.

For a spicier kick, add chopped jalapeños to the filling mixture.

Use different cheeses like Monterey Jack or pepper jack for a new twist.
