A chicken quesadilla is a great way to use up the remnants of a purchased rotisserie chicken or leftovers from last night’s chicken dinner. Tossing the meat in barbecue sauce creates a fusion of two cuisines, giving a classic an unexpected twist. In the mood for something more traditional? No problem. Skip the barbecue sauce and serve with salsa.
