I’m back with yet another tasty quesadilla recipe. I remember as a child going to Chi Chi’s with my family at least once a month until they closed down the location near my house. Sadly, I have not eaten at Chi Chi’s since then, so I was so excited to find this copycat recipe for there Steak & Mushroom quesadilla. This was last nights dinner, and it was a success around the kitchen table. Enjoy!
