Grilled Chicken and Spinach Quesadillas image

My favorite sister-in-law introduced me to this recipe and we made it for a family gathering. Very quick and tasty with the use of the rotisserie chicken from the store. Apparently original source is June's Real Simple. And it is (real simple, that is). When I made this I had my grill a little too hot so pay attention when it says medium grill. Even the slightly too browned tortillas were forgiven, though, and these were very good!

These quesadillas are a bit bland for my taste.

I added some black beans to these quesadillas and they were even better!

These quesadillas are so good! I made them for dinner last night and my family loved them. I will definitely be making them again.

I tried this recipe last night and it turned out great! The only thing I changed was that I used a different type of cheese, but it was still delicious.

I've made these quesadillas a few times now and they're always a hit. They're easy to make and they're always delicious.

These quesadillas are fantastic! The chicken and spinach are a great combination, and the cheese is gooey and melted. I especially love the addition of the avocado, which adds a creamy richness to the quesadilla.
