I've tried this recipe a few times now and it's always a winner. The quesadillas are crispy and cheesy, and the pesto adds a delicious flavor. I highly recommend this recipe.

These quesadillas were a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and my quesadillas turned out great! They were crispy and flavorful. I served them with sour cream and salsa, and they were a big hit with my family.

These quesadillas were a little too greasy for my taste. I think I'll try baking them next time instead of frying them.

I've made these quesadillas a few times now and they're always a hit. I love that they're so versatile. You can use any type of pesto or cheese that you like. I've even added some chopped vegetables to them before.

These quesadillas were easy to make and turned out great. I used a store-bought pesto and it worked just fine.

I'm not a huge fan of pesto, but I really enjoyed these quesadillas. The chicken was juicy and flavorful, and the cheese was melted and gooey. I'll definitely be making these again, but I'll use a different type of pesto.
