Quesadillas are a staple in our home. I love the fact that you can switch out for ingredients that are already on hand and what each family member enjoys.
If you have an electric griddle or even a Blackstone, the cooking process goes a lot faster as you have more room to cook even more chicken quesadillas at once!
