Has anyone made chicken quesadillas with corn tortillas rather then flour?
I have some leftover chicken from last night and a ton of corn tortillas.
I was thinking of trying quesadillas but noticed the recipes that turn up tend to use flour tortillas.
Has anyone tried successfully with corn tortillas?
Any tips or pointers?
Thanks!

I just wanted to say that I tried it and it worked out great.
I heated a very small amount of oil up in a pan and then cooked them for a couple minutes on each side. They were softer and not too crunchy. The consistency (for lack of better word) was just how I'd wanted it.
Really yummy. Thanks for the help!
Like you, I used to end up with tons of leftover tortillas. Now, I can mix up a few on demand.
I like the corn tortillas much much better. Also, Look for Quesadilla "melting cheese"
Unless you crisp them up or use hard corn tortillas.
The only issue is the different textures--a bite of the firmer corn quesadilla tends to make the fillings squish out.
