For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the margarita mixture. Feel free to substitute the Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses with your favorite Mexican cheese blend. To prevent soggy quesadillas, make sure to drain the chicken well after simmering in the margarita mixture. Serve with your favorite toppings such as sour cream, guacamole, and salsa.
