FAQs about Chicken Quesadillas

Are these quesadillas spicy?

Nope, just nicely.. Warm?! You can adjust the spice and add more paprika or chilli powder if you’d like them hotter.

What type of salsa should I use?

I like the fresh type from the supermarket fridge as it has less additives than the jars on the shelves. Any is fine really though.

What can I serve with these quesadillas?

I serve them as a complete meal as they include fat, protein and carbs. I serve some of the salsa on the side for dipping and I often serve sour cream or yoghurt with them too.

You could of course add nachos or potato wedges if you fancy.

Can I reheat these quesadillas?

Sure, you can reheat them in the microwave or in a frying pan. Just be sure they are hot through before serving.

If using a microwave, they may go a little floppy and no longer crispy, but they will still taste good!
