Spicy Chicken Quesadillas
45—60 Min
Quesadillas: a Mexican classic. The dish gets its name from the fact that quesadillas are stuffed with cheese ("queso" in Spanish) and are made from "tortilla" flatbreads. There are so many ways to stuff delicious tortillas; with a meat, fish or veggie filling. They all have one thing in common – they taste unbelievably good.
