Cajun Chicken Quesadillas

This recipe is the forth in my leftover chicken series.

This is a super quick lunch idea. Or make a few more, serve with a  salad and some salsa and you have yourself dinner. You can pretty much add what you like to these gorgeous chicken quesadillas. Slices of capsicum or mushrooms would be great!

They are pretty simple to make and the quantities are totally up to you. If you want to add more spice or more beg then go ahead. Just be careful not to overload the quesadilla as this can make it hard to flip in the pan.
