Directions
Blackened Chicken Quesadillas & Cranberry Mango Salsa, Not just a ‘summer’ dish, the oranges, reds, and greens in this make for a gorgeous harvest feast as well The salsa is a wonderful blend of tart, sweet, and spicy and goes well against the cool flavor of the cheese (I often omit the chicken and make vegetarian quesadillas) Despite the long list of directions, this is not overly complex to make but tastes like it should be Originally posted by Mean Chef , I made this exactly as posted, no one cared for it but my Father and he didn’t eant to take the left-overs home so not really sure about him either The sald=sa wasn’t too bad but I won’t be making any of it in the future
