Very simple and quick! These can be made for a quick weeknight dinner and picky eaters! Serve with diced onions, black olives, sour cream, and salsa.

Great as is, but can be improved with additions of your choosing. May need a bit more enchilada sauce if you want to dip or pour it on top. Read More

I followed the ingredients exactly as stated and cooked it in the crockpot then the stove the first time. It was delicious but I didn't care for finishing it on the stove. the next time I made the quesadillas I filled them, rolled them, covered them with cheese and sauce and put in the oven for 20 minutes or so. Delicious and easy!! Read More

I don't make changes on the first try. Maybe next time. Everyone loved it. I bought a quesadillas maker for the next time. Taco Bell just lost a customer. Read More

I liked this recipe. The second time I made it, I didn't have enchilada sauce, but I had a 19oz container of molé sauce. I also had 4 chicken breasts. I doubled the recipe and swapped molé sauce for enchilada sauce. Absolutely delicious. The molé quesadillas got rave reviews. Read More

Pretty good and certainly easy! Kids liked but I gave only 4 stars bc the seasoning was a bit much even after adding another chicken breast and some extra water I thought it was quite strong! Maybe will use less than a packet next time. Read More
