These delicious Chicken Quesadillas are one of my kid’s favorite dinners. I love them because they’re quick and easy to make!
We used to have taco night but once I came up with this yummy recipe, Chicken Quesadilla night seems to have taken its place. The only thing that makes these even better is when I make Fresh Salsa to go with them. Don’t forget that Cinco de Mayo is coming up. Chicken Quesadillas for dinner and Margarita Cupcakes for dessert!
