Barbecue Chicken Quesadillas

Barbecue Chicken Quesadillas I always tell people that Maryland is home for me.  That is where I spent most of my childhood years and where my heart truly is.  Since traveling around in the military and being stationed in Texas five different times, I can say Texas is now my second home.  Living in Texas has certainly made me appreciate and learn to cook great Mexican and Latin-inspired food.  And my recipes vary from the cheesy, beefy recipes to the grilled recipes loaded with lots of fresh ingredients.  Well, this recipe for Barbecue Chicken Quesadillas is neither of these.  Sorry!  If I had to label it, it would be Texas Barbecue, marries Chicken Quesadilla.  Inspired by a little bit of Texas, a little bit of Mexico and a kiss of Maryland!

Easy Crockpot Chicken It starts with my Easy Crock Pot Chicken, and layers that with tangy barbecue sauce and crunchy cole slaw, all wrapped up in warm, melty smoked Gouda cheese.  Now that is what I call a match made in Texas, I mean heaven.  Aren’t they one in the same?
