CHICKEN QUESADILLAS
This is a great recipe for parties. I freeze the leftovers; they reheat quite well. The zesty chicken and cooked peppers are a succulent delight when mixed with the melted cheeses. Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve with sour cream and salsa.

SPICY ZUCCHINI QUESADILLAS
My family loves Mexican food, so I created this easy recipe one summer when our garden was bursting with zucchini. For milder quesadillas, use Monterey Jack instead of pepper Jack cheese. If you want them spicier, add some red pepper flakes or chopped jalapenos. -Linda Taylor Lenexa, Kansas

CHICKEN ZUCCHINI QUESADILLAS
I had the best quesadillas at a restaurant in Vermont while on vacation and I wanted to duplicate them myself. This is what I cam up with and I think it's pretty close. It is a great way to use up all those zucchini. I bake my quesadillas in the oven, but feel free to make them any way you like. Make sure that you serve with fresh pico de gallo and sour cream for the full experience. Enjoy!

ZUCCHINI QUESADILLAS
A quesadilla is a tortilla typically filled with beans and shredded cheese then folded before being toasted or fried. Our version features cheese and cooked vegetables. Sour cream, shredded lettuce, sliced avocado, and bottled salsa make great accompaniments to quesadillas, so serve them on the side.
