Quesadillas are a favorite of mine. You can fix them many different ways with meat or cheese only. Here’s a delicious recipe for gluten-free organic chicken quesadillas. They are so delicious! You could even switch the chicken for steak or leave the meat out altogether. I love these almost as much as my steak fajita recipe!
