No one will be able to resist hot and gooey Grilled Chicken and Corn Quesadillas, fresh from the grill. Stuffed with seasoned, grilled chicken, corn, and cheese, you can serve the quesadillas as an appetizer or a main dish. Serve them with your favorite salsa or sour cream.
These quesadillas are perfect for a quick meal, whether you are cooking on the grill at a camping site or at home. The chicken only takes 10 minutes, and the final quesadillas come together in just a few minutes.
You can spice the tortillas up, literally and figuratively, by adding minced fresh or pickled jalapeños. Try adding different cheeses, like crumbled queso or spicy pepper Jack cheese. And don’t forget to serve an ice-cold soda or mocktail on the side.
