Grilled Chicken and Spinach Quesadillas image

My favorite sister-in-law introduced me to this recipe and we made it for a family gathering. Very quick and tasty with the use of the rotisserie chicken from the store. Apparently original source is June's Real Simple. And it is (real simple, that is). When I made this I had my grill a little too hot so pay attention when it says medium grill. Even the slightly too browned tortillas were forgiven, though, and these were very good!

I'm allergic to dairy, so I'll have to find a dairy-free cheese to use in these quesadillas.

These quesadillas were a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also added some black beans and corn to mine, and they were delicious!

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my quesadillas turned out soggy. I think I may have added too much butter to the pan.

The quesadillas were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them better with some more seasoning or salsa.

These quesadillas were easy to make and turned out great! I used a rotisserie chicken and pre-shredded cheese to save time, and they were still delicious.

I'm not usually a fan of quesadillas, but these were surprisingly good. The grilled chicken was tender and juicy, and the spinach added a nice freshness.
