Super Yummy Creamy Chicken Quesadillas

October 1, 2015 By

Creamy Chicken Quesadillas are incredibly delicious, easy to make and crowd pleasing. New regular on our menu for sure!

One of the things I miss most about South Texas is the amazing Mexican food. Really… There’s nothing quite like it! I got a hankering for some good quesadillas this week and created a meal that reminded me of a dish I could find in San Antonio. Creamy Chicken Quesadillas!

Creamy Chicken Quesadillas are incredibly delicious, easy to make and crowd pleasing. New regular on our menu for sure!

I made these with my favorite new appliance, the Cuisinart Griddler grill and panini maker. (Honestly we use this gadget practically daily!) To whip up this dish, I combined cream cheese with green chilis, added some chicken and mexican cheese blend, and topped it off with some cilantro and avocado. YUM!

Creamy Chicken Quesadilla Prep

One of the secrets of making this so tasty is to lightly brush a bit of oil on the corn tortillas. This adds a bit of texture and crunch when you take your first bite!
