    Authentic Style Chicken Quesadilla, Chunks of chicken simmered in a Mexican seasoned tomato sauce, pan fried in flour tortillas with white American cheese My fiance says it is the closest to the flavor of our local Mexican restaurant These are awesome and quick!, Does the kind of butter used affect the outcome? Should use salted or unsalted butter?, The filling was very good, but the tortillas used never really browned up very well I will try using a different brand again, but the chicken, sauce and cheese were a winner!
