I made this on a week night and it was a hit. Can be made quickly and very easily. All at the table enjoyed. This recipe will definitely be made again and again.

My husband doesn't eat meat, so I used black beans instead of chicken. Left overs were great over rice the next day.

This is my first commets here in foodnetwork, the chicken-veggi mixture is great; somehow, the mexican cheese just doesn't taste right in Quesadillas, it's really lack of flavor, it's just too too mild that you can't even taste it, so my husband recommended using mozzerella, and it turned out a lot better. Overall, it's a really healthy and llight meal, even my one year old son loves it!! I will definitely make this again and try other cheeses!! Love Ellie, Love her show, hope she can bring more healthy ideas and recipes for everybody.

This is great! I usually make a double batch. Add a little extra cheese- throw in some canned artichoke hearts for a little extra something. I usually put some sort of rub or something to flavor on the chicken. Add some hot sauce after it is cooked along w/ tomatoes and sour cream.

I spent an hour making it b/c I didn't have the chicken already cooked. It was ok w/the salsa, but without just tasted kind of blah. I'm not sure what it needed to be scrumptious. It was also a son of a gun to turn!

In order to spice the recipe up some, I grilled a chicken breast using a spice rub on the chicken (it was actually left over from Bobby Flay's 16-spice chicken recipe. I made the rest of the recipe as written, but I probably used a little more cheddar cheese than called for so everything would bind together well. It came out great, even my husband likes it who does not typically eat mushrooms or spinach. It makes two huge quesadillas, so there was plenty left for my lunch the following day and it is just as good reheated.

These were FANTASTIC! My dad doesn't like mexican and is totally a meat and potatoes guy, but even Dad enjoyed them!!! I needed a bit more cheese the first time I made them but they were DELICIOUS!!! My mom requested I make them again on our upcoming family vacation. Easy, fast, and simple to make. I love mushrooms and all of the spices were fantastically flavored. Love this dish and will be making it again and again!!!

I agree with a PP in that the meat mixture is just missing something that I can't quite figure out. Something savory anyway and maybe a little acidic? Maybe some adobe peppers and something like a mole sauce? Anyway, it needs something to add oomph to the meat mixture and then it will be 5 stars for sure!

I made this last night for myself, my husband, and his best friend, and they were amazed when I told them it was good for them! Full of flavor, and a good use of whole wheat tortillas. Two things to watch out for: the amount of cheese and the serving size. Half a quesadilla is one serving, and it's so good, you'll be tempted to eat the whole thing. For a side, we had Ellie's refried beans, which was a perfect paring with the quesadillas, and so tasty.
Since I had doubled the recipe, we had enough filing left over, my husband had it again for lunch today. I heated up the chicken on the stove, and added a little salsa to the pan so it wouldn't dry out. Just as good the second day! This one's going in my permanent recipe box!
