Chicken Quesadillas and Mexican Style Cornbread

We aren't big Mexican eaters in our house.. sure we like the occasional tacos or plain fajitas, but that is about the extent of it.. so making this meal was pretty risky, but we both loved it! I did change a few things from the original recipes to modify to our liking, and it was just perfect! So here's the recipes!!
