I would have liked the chicken verde to be a bit spicier, but otherwise these quesadillas were delicious. The cheese melted perfectly and the tortillas were nice and crispy.

These quesadillas were easy to make and turned out great. I used rotisserie chicken to save time and they were still delicious. I'll definitely be making these again.

These quesadillas were a bit bland for my taste, but my kids loved them. I think I'll add some more spice next time I make them.
