OMG... I made these quite awhile ago... July 8th to be exact. I made them and was raving to another reviewer (pammyowl) about how great they were, so she decided to make them, also. I used some left-over chicken and bottled BBQ sauce. I did not heat them in a pot or pan, I zapped it in a bowl in the micro-wave while I was sauteing the bell pepper & onion (time saver and less mess). I did not use cilantro. The only ingredient that was different was that I used "Pepper Jack" cheese instead of "Monterey Jack" (it was what I had at the time). After sauteing the veggies, I wiped out the non-stick skillet with a paper towel and did not add butter to the tortillas (not needed, in my opinion). I love almost any quesadilla that I have made or ones that I can get my hands on, but never once thought of BBQ Chicken as an option! Hubby & I loved them! Thank you for posting.

Oh, my--this was delicious! My taste buds were doing a happy dance! The whole family approved. I used leftover chicken I had from Recipe #111514 and I left out the bell peppers and cilantro as I did not have any on hand. I think the red onion really gives a special taste to this dish. I just used store-bought barbecue sauce and it was really good but next time I want to try my own barbecue sauce (well, my mom's actually) Recipe #388413 . After buttering the outsides of each tortilla, I sprinke Garlic Salt with Parsley, which is a simple quick trick learned from my sister and it really gives an extra special zing to quesadillas. I use a quesadilla maker as well. Will definitely be making these many more times!
