BBQ Chicken Quesadillas
These are so quick and easy to throw together and taste great. I tagged this recipe to make, from a one of my team mates, in a recipe swap I am involved in. The only change I made was to just buy a whole BBQ chook from the store and pull the meat off rather than cooking chicken breasts, which made it even quicker to make. I served ours with sour cream, salsa and guacamole for a yummy meal. To read more reviews on this recipe or to see more photos please click here.
