That sounds delicious! I love adding a little twist to recipes to make them even more tasty. I'm sure the combination of jerk chicken and cheese was a hit with your guests. Did you serve any dips or sauces with the quesadillas? I find that a good avocado or chipotle sauce goes perfectly with jerk chicken. Thanks for sharing your success with the recipe, I might have to try making it myself!
