Chicken quesadillas are so easy to make and an absolute winning meal come the mid week madness. Taking just 15 minutes to make and prepare these chicken quesadillas can be on the table in no time and are sure to be a hit with even the biggest and smallest family members. You can serve them up with all sorts of extra too, if you fancy something a bit more. Mexican dips like guacamole, salsa and sour cream and chive all work beautifully well with the rich and spicy flavours of the chicken quesadillas. For smaller children you can leave out the spices for a plainer flavour that they might prefer. If you're throwing a dinner party then these make a great informal starter too. Just pop a big board of them in the middle of the table and let everyone help themselves!
