These quesadillas were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I think next time I'll use less chorizo.

I'm not a fan of corn, so I left it out of the quesadillas. They were still really good.

I had a hard time finding chorizo at my local grocery store. I ended up using ground beef instead and the quesadillas were still really good.

These quesadillas were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had added some more spices.
