These quesadillas were a great way to use up leftover chicken and vegetables. They were also really easy to make.

I thought the quesadillas were a little bland. I would have liked them better if I had added more spices.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my quesadillas didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. I think I might have overcooked them.

The quesadillas were a little too greasy for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had used less oil.
