Directions:
Place oil in a large, heavy skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat.
Add onion and Serrano chile; cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
Add garlic and cook 1 minute.
Transfer to a medium bowl and wipe skillet clean with a paper towel.
Chop chipotle chile; place in a small bowl with adobo sauce and mash with fork.
Add to onion mixture in bowl; add chicken and toss.

With paper towel, lightly oil skillet and place over medium-high heat until it is very hot but not smoking.
Cook quesadillas one at a time, turning over once, until cheese is melted, 4 to 5 minutes total. Transfer with a spatula to a cutting board; cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
Repeat with remaining quesadillas, adding more oil if necessary.
Cut into quarters and serve with accompaniments.
Everyone knows how quick quesadillas are to make and you can have the fun of creating your ownwith any ingredients you'd like, but this version has great flavor from the chopotle peppers and the shredded chicken.
