PROS

These quesadillas are a delicious twist on a classic dish.

They are easy to make and perfect for a summer barbecue or dinner party.

Plus, the recipe can be easily modified to suit different tastes and dietary needs.

CONS

This recipe might not be suitable for those who do not eat meat, as it calls for cooked chicken breast.

Also, the quesadillas are best eaten fresh off the grill and might not work well as leftovers.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

These quesadillas are relatively high in protein, which can help keep you feeling full and satisfied.
Plus, they are a good source of vitamin C, thanks to the bell pepper and onion.
However, they are also fairly high in calories and fat, due to the cheese and barbecue sauce.
For a healthier version, you could try using less cheese or a low-fat cheese alternative, and using a homemade barbecue sauce with less added sugar.
