Thank you so much for catching these mistakes. I've fixed them here and in the blog post. Too much multitasking. :)

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Made this last night and got rid of a lot of leftovers! I used chicken that had been roasted with 40 cloves of garlic and herbs (an oldie, but a goodie). I also used the Rotel tomatoes w/lime and cilantro because it's what I had on hand and I substituted Chipotle Tabasco sauce for the chipotle powder. Very tasty! Next time I'll probably use a larger tortilla and fold it in half so it's easier to flip. There are a couple of typo-type things you might want to fix: (1) ingredients list says refried beans, but instructions say black beans and (2) cheese appears in instructions, but not in ingredients list.

About

These spicy quesadillas were made with corn tortillas and stuffed with shredded chicken breast, tomatoes, peppers, re-fried beans and cheese. We dipped them in a creamy chipotle and lime sauce, and chased it down with our favorite beer.
