Chicken Quesadillas

Craving Mexican? Try these cheesy chicken quesadillas. I used to have quesadillas on the regular when I worked right across the street from a local Mexican restaurant. That was dangerous for my wallet. While their quesadillas were delicious, it is always so satisfying when you can create one of your favorite dishes right from the comfort of your home! Being a lot cheaper helps too. Create and customize your own quesadillas with your favorite fillings.
