We love Mexican dishes, so finally this chicken filled quesadillas found place on our plates. They are very simple to prepare, so they are perfect for busy day dinners or as a party snack.

We found people often make Pineapple salsa with quesadillas which sounded a little bit too special, but we took a chance. Aaand, it was the right decision. Pineapple salsa complements so well with these quesadillas. It is a spicy – sweet dip.
