  • For a spicier kick, add some chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce to the marinade.
  • If you don't have a grill pan, you can cook the chicken on a regular skillet or even bake it in the oven.
  • To make the quesadillas even crispier, brush the tortillas with a little oil before cooking.

Storage and Serving

  • Leftover quesadillas can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • To reheat, place the quesadillas in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until heated through.
  • Serve the quesadillas as a main dish with a side of rice and beans, or cut them into smaller pieces and serve as appetizers.
