bbq chicken quesadilla

This BBQ chicken quesadilla recipe turns leftover chicken or turkey into a cheesy Tex-Mex dinner recipe that&#x27;s ready in under thirty minutes. You can use any precooked chicken in this recipe, but chopped grilled chicken and shredded rotisserie chicken are my favorites.

Nutrition info is an estimate and uses regular white flour tortillas rather than the low carb ones I like.

Loved the BBQ take one on the quesadilla!! Great flavors

So making this for my kids, of course the vegan version. Thanks for the inspiration.

Love the idea of using leftover bbq chicken in quesadillas! The addition of pineapple sounds so good! Going to keep this in mind next time we bbq!

I'm always looking for ways to use up the boring breast meat from roasted chicken. This looks perfect, thank you.

You are making me so hungry! Luckily I have everything to make these for lunch, if I can wait until then. Haha!
