I found that the quesadillas didn't hold together very well. I think I might try using a different type of cheese next time.

The chipotle crema is the perfect finishing touch to these quesadillas. It adds a bit of heat and smokiness that really takes them to the next level.

I love that this recipe uses chicken thighs. They're so much more flavorful than chicken breasts.
