Quesadillas have never tasted as good as when they are filled with slightly sweet onions and peppers and topped with lime butter and salt. It’s the perfect balance of sweet and savory.

I love quesadillas and these were both easy and delicious. For a little extra spice, I added jalapenos to my pepper mixture.

Made these just about exactly as written, but added a splash of tequila to the marinade. I mean, it can\u2019t be a margarita without tequila! The chicken was absolutely delicious.

Just need to remember to marinate ahead. I typically use Reynold's release on my baking sheets but I did not have any residual dripping\/scorching from the lime\/butter mixture that others commented on. Serving size says 16, but I would debate that. Probably more like 4, if prepared as a meal and not as a appetizer, and 8, if an appetizer.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2016-02-17","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"OrangeBone"},"reviewBody":"Delicious! My guests rave about these whenever I serve them and there are seldom any leftovers! I have never encountered any messiness from broiling the chicken like other reviewers but you certainly have to make sure you drain the marinade thoroughly prior to sticking the chicken under the broiler.

I agree with justmbeth about the number of servings. We get 4 main dish servings from the recipe. I broil the chicken on a foil-covered pan because doing them on the stovetop grill or charcoal grill left a huge mess of burned limeade from when the sugar in it carmelized. The limeade does add a wonderful flavor to the meat, though.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2012-03-31","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"BlueStrawberry"},"reviewBody":"My family gave this recipe rave reviews and said they liked these better than the quesadillas I usually make with chicken, salsa, monterey jack, and cream cheese. They do fall apart a bit because there is no cream cheese to hold the mixture together. So I had some trouble with the filling coming out. These remind me more of a fajita because the meat is grilled and the veggies are fresh. You could certainly serve them as fajitas rather than quesadillas. The lime marinade really adds a nice touch. It's very subtle, but a good layer of flavor. I added some canned chiles and fried the quesadillas in a skillet rather than baking them. In the spirit of the name, margarita, I sprinkled some coarse salt on them before serving. Very good!","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2019-05-23","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"RedMustache"},"reviewBody":"These were very easy and so delicious!

It's become a favorite. I use a quesadilla maker, so that makes the wedges into sealed pockets for me. If you are going to broil the chicken, make sure you have aluminum foil on the bottom and up the sides of the pan, because that sugary limeade concentrate will drip and burn... and by the time your chicken is cooked you may find you've absolutely ruined a nonstick baking sheet.
