Chicken Quesadilla Recipe

Provided By
A mexican favorite that the kids will even love. Use rotisserie chicken from the store to create in a snap. Serve with spanish rice on the side for a complete meal. These quesadillas also make a great appetizer.

"Great quesadillas! We all loved them and everyone kind of put on what they liked. Some left off the cilantro and spinach; while some didn't add onions (I cooked the onions separate). I made the Pico de Gallo Salsa and the Simple Guacamole to serve with them."
