Strawberry Chicken Quesadilla

Strawberry Chicken Quesadillas with Balsamic

I am a huge fan of balsamic vinegar.  I pour it over everything and I have even been known to eat it straight off the spoon.  This strawberry season I have developed a new love for strawberries and balsamic vinegar.  I love to cut up a bowl of fresh strawberries, add a sprinkle of sugar and then toss with balsamic vinegar.  So good.  So I decided to incorporate my new favorite flavor combination into a yummy dinner recipe.

How to Make a Quesadilla

  • Melt a tablespoon of butter in a frying pan.
  • Place filled quesadilla into pan and cook on medium heat.
  • Flip to the second side once the first side is golden brown.
  • To help the cheese melt faster, place a lid on your frying pan.
  • Slice and serve.

 The sweetness of the balsamic vinegar and the strawberries with the other ingredients is pretty divine!
