Yummy! Really nice dish. I will make these again. I subbed cajun seasoning as that was what was on hand. I also added chopped tomato. Thanks for posting! -
These were pretty good. I used the cilantro and the cream cheese was a nice change from the cheddar or monterey jack I usually use in quesadillas. We couldn't taste the spices quite as much as I expected, but we really enjoyed them. Thanks for posting! *Made for PAC Spring 2010*
