Alright, if you’ve been following this blog for a while, you know that the recipes I post are either from cook books or hand me downs. I’ve made up a few recipes but they’ve been simple: pastas, sandwiches, beverages, sides. Never have I tried to make an entree on my own until today. This was the first time I used a recipe as a guideline instead of following it step by step.
So I made chicken quesadillas. Still relatively simple, yes. But you need to start somewhere. Yes, I used the easy marinade & cook method, but I’m really proud of how it tasted. The smoky cumin cut right through the tart lime. The garlic also added a nice kick to the dish. Couple that with the warm chicken & melted cheese & it’s a winner in my book. I hope you’ll like it too.

You were adventurous! I either throw a tortilla in a pan and top it with cheese and another tortilla or use the microwave which is the fastest for the kidos!
