Directions

1 Place chicken in large heavy-duty resealable plastic bag. Stir together marinade ingredients; pour over chicken in bag. Seal and refrigerate at least 1 hour but no longer than 8 hours. Remove chicken from marinade; discard marinade. Heat gas or charcoal grill. Place chicken on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 14 to 16 minutes, turning once, until juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (at least 165°F). Thinly slice chicken.
2 Meanwhile, stir together sauce ingredients. Cover and refrigerate until serving.

Repeat with remaining quesadillas. Cut quesadillas into wedges. Serve with sauce.

Also try low-sodium soy sauce - trust me, you won't notice the difference, but your body will - and 100% whole wheat or corn tortillas. Flour tortillas have so many more calories.
