Cooking Tips

• You can use any type of cheese you prefer, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a Mexican blend.
• 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.
