Bbq Chicken Quesadilla Stack
A community recipe by Mandy_CNot tested or verified by Nigella.com
Introduction
I love quesadillas. Anything with melted cheese always hits the spot! This version borrows an idea from Silvana Franco (The Best), of creating a double-layered quesadilla, so you have a crunchy layer of tortilla in the middle. It also means you can make one quesadilla to serve two people, without having to keep one of them warm (which I always find makes it loes that wonderful crispiness). This is a great Monday evening dish to use up any leftover roast chicken, and boy is it speedy! 10 minutes from start to finish, including prepping all the ingredients. I like to serve it with a salad on the side - Nigella's avocado, spinach and pumpkin seed salad goes well here.

Additional Information
It's really important to leave a bit of a gap all the way around the edges of the tortillas, otherwise the filling will start spilling out of the sides. Not only does this waste some of the filling, but it makes it much harder to flip the quesadilla! You can make this without the bbq sauce, or substitute any other sauce you like. For instance, it is also good with sweet chilli sauce, and I keep meaning to try it with mango chutney. Not very mexican, I know!
