    Smoked Cheddar Quesadillas, Very simple recipe that I came up with after getting tired of the plain ole cheese Quesadillas, less is more when it comes to these, only 3 filling ingredients!!Enjoy, very good. we added extra onion because we love grilled onions. other than that I followed the recipe to the letter and it was wonderful. thank you for the recipe., We loved this recipe!! The smoked cheddar really gave it that “something special” that is missing in most quesadilla recipes. I didn’t know what mexican oregano was and found out I was out of cumin once I started making the recipe, so I just tossed in not measuring some hot chili powder, red pepper flakes, garlic powder and taco seasoning. I also added olive oil and lime juice to make it more of marinade so my chicken didn’t blacken as well. My boyfriend wanted me to tell people that he would have used a bit less onion. I told him that I added the onion in an amount to my liking and next time he can add his own ingredients. He did say, though, that it was a keeper – and that’s saying a lot because he is very hard to please.
