Chef Santiago's take on a classic from Mexico: the chicken quesadilla. Juicy chunks of adobo-marinated chicken thighs are tucked into flour tortillas alongside refried beans, as well as Oaxaca and mozzarella cheeses. The golden brown crispy quesadillas are accompanied by grilled cabbage, pico de gallo made with roasted and grilled peppers, and a delicious, smoky Chile de Arbol sauce.
