What are cowboy quesadillas, you ask?

Bold fajita-seasoned chicken with hot melted cheese wrapped up in freshly crisped tortillas and cut into triangle bites. What’s not to love? Plus, we’re having amazing nachos with melted cheese, diced tomatoes, black olives, fresh lettuce and shredded chicken on top!
