BBQ Chicken and Cheddar Quesadillas

Submitted by ANN N.

"Quick, easy and oh so satisfying! We like these for a quick snack. Doubled it makes an easy dinner for 4. I will pick up a rotisserie chicken and a bag of salad mix on the way home from work and dinner is half made before I get home. With a little extra effort you can saute up some crispy bacon and sliced mushrooms. Makes them even better!"

I woudlnt really call these "BBQ" chicken quesadillas, more like mexican because of the salsa and taco sauce, but they were tastey. I left out the chilis and when they were done cooking, I pried some of them open and threw some shredded lettuce, sour cream and the salsa in for DF and DBF. Cutting the recipe in half made more then enough for three of us for lunch. Thanks for the recipe.

These were awesome! Just a few ingredients and there ya go...Dinner!! I used 1/2 of the green chilis just for me because no one else likes them. I followed everything and they turned out wonderful! Thanks so much for posting!!

Terrific quesadillas! DD and I had them for lunch today. We made the recipe as posted, but left out the cilantro. Very easy and tasty! Made for Zaar World Tour.

These are very good! I made for lunch last week and really enjoyed how simple and flavorful they were. I did leave off the cilantro and added parsley instead which added freshness. I also used taco cheese instead of the cheddar. Thanks so much for posting!!

These are great! They were so simple to put together and full of flavor. I added a little extra cheese and used a fresh tomato salsa! Outstanding! Thanks for sharing.
