Awesome dish and fast and easy. This was a dish that was different but tasty. I used black beans in gravy and it was a nice touch of taste.

Special Extra

Top each serving with 1 Tbsp. BREAKSTONE'S Reduced Fat or KNUDSEN Light Sour Cream.

Note

If you have only 1 large skillet, cook chicken mixture in skillet as directed, then transfer to bowl; cover to keep warm. Wipe out skillet, then spray with additional cooking spray and use to cook quesadillas as directed.

My husband and I both loved this recipe! We added more salsa and it came out great.

A good trick to browning both sides of a quesadilla w/o flipping is to bake them. Preheat oven to 400. Assemble quesadilla and bake it on a lightly sprayed baking sheet or foil. Bake until desired crispness and browness.

They were great, my family loved them!! Does anyone know a trick to flip the quesadilla without throwing the filling everywhere? I made a huge mess!!

Great easy recipe! I made this the the other day for dinner, with a few variations. I used pork and & salmon instead of chicken. I also broiled the quesadillas- which was much easier than frying and less fat, too! They turned out wonderful! Good job- Kraft!

very good - not too spicy for kids, but can be "upgraded" for personal taste!
