I'm not sure about this recipe. It seems like it might be too spicy for me.

These quesadillas were way too greasy. I think I'll try baking them next time instead of frying them.

These quesadillas were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used black beans and roasted corn instead of chicken. The quesadillas were delicious and filling.

I had a hard time finding grilled green chilis, so I used roasted red peppers instead. The quesadillas were still delicious, but I think they would have been even better with the grilled green chilis.

These quesadillas were a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. He said they were the best quesadillas he's ever had.

I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, but I really enjoyed these quesadillas. The grilled green chilis added just the right amount of heat.

These quesadillas are so easy to make and they're absolutely delicious. I love that I can use up leftover grilled chicken or steak in them.

I've made these quesadillas several times now and they're always a crowd-pleaser. The combination of grilled green chilis, cheese, and avocado is simply irresistible.

These quesadillas were a hit at my last party! The grilled green chilis added a smoky flavor that really took them to the next level. I also loved the creamy avocado sauce - it was the perfect complement to the spicy chilis.
