Delicious. I seasoned the chicken with a little taco seasoning. Also, I saved a little time on this one by doing the following: I cooked the chicken about halfway over medium high heat, and then added the garlic, onion, and green pepper to finish cooking WITH the chicken. Of course, if you do it this way, go ahead and add the 2T of olive oil at the beginning. Once the chicken was done and the veggies were tender, I turned the stove off and stirred in the pico de gallo. Another reviewer mentioned that this doesn't make very much, and I agree. I got 3 8in tortillas out of mine, so I will probably double the recipe next time. I enjoyed this very much!... a nice, delicious twist on quesadillas. The fresh pico INSIDE the quesadilla gave it a wonderful, unique burst of flavor. This will be my go to chicken quesadilla recipe from now on. Senor Cortez, I tip my hat... er, sombrero to you!

this recipe was AWESOME! I did change 1 thing tho, I used a bag of mexican cheese blend instead of the jack. And to cut down some time I bought packaged cooked smoked chicken, which was probably a good idea, considering in some of the reviews people complained that the chicken was too plain. We served ours with warm refried beans on the side, but they would taste great with spanish rice as well. VERY filling. 5 stars all the way!

I thought these were incredible. I wouldn't have thought to put the pico de gallo inside the quesadilla, but it was great that way. My husband didn't agree and liked his better on the outside, but either way, the pico de gallo recipe is delicious. I only put in about half the jalepeno, but that's because I'm a baby when it comes to spicy foods. Also, when I cooked the chicken, I sprinkled some garlic powder and lime juice over it to give it some extra flavor. I will no doubt be making these again.

Recipe was simple to follow and I made triple of the Quesadillas but only one recipe of the Pico De Gallo as it made a lot. I found the Pico De Gallo to be to much onion taste for me so will reduce the onion next time I make this. The next day the onion was all I tasted in it.

I made these w/o having the recipe in front of me. As it turned out I used red pepper & a monteray jack cheese spread. For a "senior" moment, I guess that wasn't bad. I will use regular monteray jack cheese next time though.

Delicious!! I did add my own changes here and there but followed the recipe for the most part, and these came out so good! My in-laws are Hispanic and don't even know how to make these, I whipped up some for them and THEY were begging me for the recipe and to make more!! You can easily tweak this to your preference. Thanks for the great recipe!

I can't eat chicken so substitute beef, but other than that I make it exactly as stated. This is a FANTASTIC recipe that my boyfriend and brother both love. Very very good.

These were really good, needed more cheese though. I used shredded white meat from a rotisserie chicken, and followed the recipe exactly otherwise. It was really tasty but not quite what I was expecting based on the reviews.

The best quesadillas I've ever had/made hands down. My friends and I got together to make these for a class party and they were a hit. We added more lime to the chicken though but they were perfect!

I buy the pico de gallo from a really good local Mexican restaurant and fallow the rest of the recipe exactly. This is a HUGE hit everywhere I take it and we have people ask us to make it when we are bringing food to functions.

This was a good recipe. I always season meat or chicken with Adobo. I read other reviews where they said the meat was bland. I used frozen mixed yellow, green, and red bell peppers to add more flavor. The other change i made was not to put the pico de gallo in the quesadilla. I served it on the side along with sour cream.

I never review recipes...but I just had to rate this one as 10 stars. I made this for Valentine's Dinner, as we usually go out to eat and order Quesadillas. However, I gave it a try. My husband loved this so much, he called his mother to tell her all about it. It was PERFECT! I used Pepper Jack cheese for more a kick and I suspect that this will now be a delicious addition to our regular dinners. I have never heard my husband talk about any food he has ever eaten. Thanks!

I made these without chicken and apparently it was SO good - I didn't even get to taste any myself! (Which is why I can't give it 5 stars). I did, however, have leftover pico de Gallo - it even tasted good 2 days later!
