Mary-Beth says: “The chicken and vegetables can be prepped on your prep day so these come together pretty quickly. The real benefit of quesadillas is how customizeable they are! You can add just about any combination of meat/cheese/vegetable with a lot of taste success.”

*Tortillas come in a lot of varieties, and not just corn vs flour. One of our MOTLOT-ers has been doing some detective work on the quality and ingredients of various brands; we will soon be able to share that information. For now, here are two brands that rate pretty high with us.
