MAMMA'S SKINNY QUESADILLAS
These quick and easy quesadillas may be a lightened-up recipe, but they're big in flavor. The seasoning on the chicken is a typical Mexican seasoning, but adding Creole spice too gives it a little something different. Lime juice adds a nice zing. The chicken breasts alone are so good we found ourselves sneaking bites and hoping...
