Tips:

Choose the right cheese. Mexican cheese blends, such as Monterey Jack, cheddar, and queso Oaxaca, melt well and have a mild flavor that complements the other ingredients in the quesadilla.
Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of the quesadilla.
Don't overcrowd the quesadilla. If you put too much filling in, it will be difficult to fold and cook evenly.
Cook the quesadilla over medium heat. This will help to prevent the tortilla from burning.
Serve the quesadilla immediately. This is when it is at its best, with a crispy tortilla and melted cheese.

Conclusion:

BBQ chicken quesadillas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a tasty and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
