These delicious Chicken Quesadillas are a quick meal for kids and grown-ups.
Hello, everyone. I like quick meals. I love anything and everything that gets’s ready in just a few minutes, especially when it comes to meal preparation. So I try to keep things as simple as possible in my kitchen and cooking. My family likes Mexican cuisine and my daughter has developed a flair for it. She loves the complex flavors which are associated with Mexican spices. So today I am sharing a recipe for Chicken Quesadilla which I usually prepare for her and my family. These quick and easy quesadillas are filled with the Mexican flavors which will tingle the taste buds from young to old.
In this recipe, I have taken as many shortcuts as possible. Well, coming up with a recipe that is quick and delicious can use such shortcuts, especially when you have a little one running around. In the following recipe, I have cooked chicken with organic tomato salsa. Made some fajitas and filled the quesadilla with chicken, fajitas, and lots of cheese. I paired this with fresh Mango and strawberry salsa. This fruity savory dip is lip smacking for kids as well as for grown-ups. Since I made this recipe keeping kids in mind, I have used small size tortillas to make it kids friendly. But for grown-ups, you have used bigger ones too.

For the grown-up version, you can add some green chiles while cooking the chicken as well as some paprika while marinating the chicken. This gives a nice chili aroma and adds some heat. Serve this quesadilla with some homemade guacamole and sour cream. And don’t forget the margaritas.
