Chicken Quesadillas
We enjoy taco night at home weekly. I make easy Oven Tacos when I am pressed for time and needing convenience. When we head out to the restaurants, I am always anxious to order Quesadillas from the appetizer menu. I will enjoy them for my meal. The big issue is the cost when dining out is crazy. Quite often they are over $10 for a small plate of quesadillas. That’s just plain crazy.
