I made this for our lunch today...it was delicious...I cut the recipe in half and it made enough for at least 4 servings maybe 5...there was so much that it was really difficult to flip the tortilla with the mixture in it...and I had a lot left over so I made another 1/2 tortilla just for me and gave the whole one to the hubby...the 1/2 tortilla was easier to flip...so I would suggest making a 1/2 at a time...we really enjoyed the flavors...I serve ti with sour cream and salsa...made for FYC tag game...

Daily Inspiration

These quesadillas are really tasty and they make a very filling lunch. I made a few changes such as using refried black beans, green onions, and I used a shredded rotisserie chicken combined with fajita seasoning. The quesadillas turned out very delicious. Served with sour cream and avocado.
