For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the onions while caramelizing. Try using different types of cheese for a unique flavor profile, such as pepper jack or a Mexican cheese blend. Grilling the quesadillas on a lightly oiled griddle or pan can achieve a crispy golden-brown exterior. Prepare the chicken and onions ahead of time for a quick and easy weeknight meal.
