Receta Chicken Quesadilla
Chicken Quesadilla
Growing up, we had 2 then 4 Mexican kids live with us for a year, so while I may claim at times that I am Italian (only by food, not by blood), the other times I feel that I am Mexican (I heard my mom just say-”what in the world is she talking about now?”) again-by FOOD, not by blood.
After the Mexican kids went back home, we were invited to Mexico City for a few weeks as a “thank you” and we got to see and eat a lot of Mexican foods. This is inevitably where my Mexican “roots” started and my love for Mexican food is always at the forefront. Good news for our little town–we will have a Mexican restaurant by the Fall!! Can I here a whoo hoo?!? But until then, I must make my own and that’s where this story is leading…Chicken Quesadillas…
