Chicken Quesadilla
We are a quesadilla family for sure. This chicken quesadilla recipe is so good and so simple. There’s nothing more that I love than a hot buttery crisp quesadilla right off of the skillet. I have developed a Southwest style quesadilla with some of my favorite ingredients. I prepared a salsa verde shredded chicken that’s layered with 3 cheeses and black beans stuffed inside buttery tortillas.
