Chicken Quesadilla with Habanero Tortillas

We have made Chicken Quesadilla many-many times in past and I like it so much, we just keep on going back to it.

I made this dish while wife was away for a few days. I already had most of the ingredient at home, and went to local grocery store to get the rest.

If you are vegetarian, substitute pinto and kidney beans instead of chicken.  Just spice up cooked pinto and kidney beans with fajita seasoning mix, chili powder, salt and pepper to your taste.

This dish is easier to make and much better than eating out as you know what ingredients are going in your dish. Prepare the ingredients as in recipe and place it on the Habanero Tortillas and not much effort is required.
