It’s been a year or two since I’ve been to Taco Bell, but these Copycat Taco Bell Quesadillas taste like I remember Taco Bell’s quesadillas tasting.
I loved these when I was a frequent visitor. I could eat two at one sitting.
Actually I think these are way better than Taco bells and they’re so simple to make!
The kiddies like these too, even though they are way to spicy for them! Now that says something. So good they eat them in spite of the heat.
This sauce is fantastic!! The taste is identical to Taco Bell’s.
This is such an easy weeknight supper with a side of veggies or a salad. This ones a keeper!
Give the recipe a try and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Tips and Tidbits
You can make these even quicker by using the cooked-then-frozen chicken breast cubes from Tyson (just heated & shredded).
If you have the time make the sauce ahead to let the flavors blend.
Customize the recipe and make it yours by adding other ingredients in with or in lieu of the chicken. You can vary it easily by using steak fajitas meat pre-made from the grocery store.
Enjoy!
