We both enjoyed the quesadilla's. I made them for lunch on Saturday I did make some changes. I only made one and split it with Carl. I used all the meat for one and only 1/2 of the blue cheese. Carl thought it would be great with chicken, franks red hot and blue cheese!! What a great idea! I think we will try that later this week. I was worried about the whole wheat tortilla but you couldn't notice!
