Quesadillas (The Pampered Chef)

Submitted by Proud Veterans wife

"This recipe for Quesadillas comes from The Pampered Chef Classics (favorite recipes from the Pampered Chef Test Kitchens) I used to work for them and this was one of the recipes I made frequently in our home. You can add cooked chicken for a whole meal! You can also just make for a quick snack or appetizer."

Fabulous! We loved this recipe - I used the optional cooked chicken and also topped it with creme fraiche and salsa sauce, as well as jalapeno peppers too! I can not get Monterey Jack cheese, so I used grated Emmenthal cheese instead - these were LOVELY! Made for photo tag - thanks PVW! FT:-)
