Chicken, Corn and Pepper Quesadillas

My son eats a quesadilla in some form almost daily. He is a cheese fiend and a fan of his carbs (hmm... I wonder if he and I are related...) so quesadillas are very popular. I sneak all types of things into him in quesadillas. All kinds of veggies get diced up small and thrown into the mix and usually he gobbles it up with glee. A few weeks ago I made these corn and pepper quesadillas for lunch but I didn't think Landon would like them due to the pepper jack cheese and the bell peppers which he usually rejects. I made him a simple cheese quesadilla and after eating all of his he moved onto mine. He went insane for this quesadilla- spicy cheese with peppers and all. I was shocked. I saved some of the leftovers for him and he ate them for lunch a few times quite happily. John and I were also big fans- the combo of flavors was really just delicious. The original recipe is for taquitos but I was in the mood for quesadillas so I just changed it up a bit. Essentially it's the same thing just a different shape! I think the best thing about these is how the cream cheese melts into the chicken/peppers/corn and creates a nice creamy mixture... So yummy!!
