Here is a different take on the chicken quesadilla. Chances are this is probably not the type of chicken quesadilla you are used to cooking/eating but don’t worry this is something much better. This chicken quesadilla consists of chicken, cheese, red onions, bacon, tomatoes, and barbeque sauce. Sounds delicious right? If you have some leftover chicken that would be great for this but even better, I seasoned the chicken and cooked it in a grill pan. Some people choose to stack the tortillas but I prefer to just do a simple fold. I find this method a lot easier than trying to flip the entire thing. If you are looking to try a different take on the chicken quesadilla, give this delicious recipe a try. Enjoy.
