Recipe View 2 mins Serve: Remove the grilled quesadillas from the grill and let them cool slightly before cutting them into wedges. Serve immediately with your favorite salsa and sour cream.

For extra flavor, consider adding a squeeze of lime juice to the chicken after grilling.
Feel free to customize the fillings with your favorite ingredients, such as bell peppers, corn, or jalapenos.
To prevent sticking, make sure the grill grate is clean and well-oiled.
If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the chicken in a skillet on the stovetop and assemble the quesadillas in a panini press or skillet.
