Not a fan of this recipe. The quesadillas were dry and the filling was bland.

The recipe was easy to follow, but the quesadillas didn't turn out as pictured.

I had trouble grilling the green chilies. They kept sticking to the grill.

The quesadillas were a bit bland. I think I'll add some more seasoning next time.

I used a different type of cheese and it turned out great! This recipe is very versatile.

I'm not usually a fan of quesadillas, but these were amazing! The grilled green chilies added a nice smoky flavor.

Easy to make and so flavorful! I love that I can use up leftover chicken or steak in these quesadillas.

These quesadillas were a hit at my party! I used poblano peppers instead of green chilies and they were delicious. The flavors all came together perfectly.
