Great quesadilla recipe! I left out the onions and used Sugared Jalapenos for the jalapeno, and I thought that was perfect with the peaches and lime. I enjoyed this with the steak but think it would be even better with chicken. Thanks for posting this recipe! Made for the Top Favorites of 2009 event

Wow! My DH took one bite and said, "Oh, this is good!" I followed the directions exactly, and the only change I would make next time is to salt and pepper the steak before grilling. Thanks for sharing this superb recipe!
