I tried the recipe just as it was and the family gave it RAVE reviews. Every time I try to cook Mexican foods, I screw it up royally, but this was wonderful. Great compliment to homemade margaritas. I might add more cheese or try a different type of tortilla, next time. The ones I used weren't quite stiff enough and they were messy...but none of us cared they were so good. Such a wonderful, warm recipe. This sounded so simple I had a hard time believing it was going to be as good as it was, but it was absolutely perfect. -
I added a little extra picante sauce. I may substitute the Mayo for cream cheese next time. I also added extra cheese. Needs a little heat, so I may add a little Jalapeno next time too.<br/><br/>Amendment Jan 2011: So I figured out the BEST combo for a quesadilla. black beans, corn, cheese, chicken, Sazon Mexican Spice blend, and chipotle powder. seriously the best ever... -
Excellent recipe! Leary about the mayo before trying the final product but turned out great. Only modification I made was reducing the corn to 1/2 cup and adding 1/2 cup of diced chicken. Kids enjoyed them too. -
I really liked this as posted! The things that I feel would take it over the top is to add some fresh cilantro and some diced jalapeno. I will reduce the sauce I put on each tortilla next time because it was just a little runny, but I used smaller tortillas and thought I'd rationed everything out right. Great quick and easy lunch or weeknight recipe. Thanks for sharing! -
Excellent! I love quesadillas and these were delicious. Used 2 chopped chipotle chilies and adobo sauce instead of salsa and left out the mayo (for calories sake). Also broiled them only because I didn't feel like washing the big pan. This will be a new stand-by since I always have these ingredients on hand. Thanks!
