I make quesadillas. You can buy the chicken or steak pre-cooked and cut into strips or you can grill them yourself. I then put some of the chicken or steak in a tortilla with pepper jack cheese. Put some cooking oil on your grill (to minimize sticking)

Cinco de Mayo Celebrations
To General Sequin or to your hang-over, check out these Cinco de Mayo celebrations going on tomorrow in and around Gilroy.

Latino Family Fund de Gilroy's Sixth Annual Tequila Tasting

When/Where: Saturday, May 5 from 3 to 7 p.m. at the Willey Cultural Center, located at 140 First St. 

What: Though not billed as a Cinco de Mayo celebration, the timing worked out just right for this fundraiser to fall on the day when tequila sales go through the roof. Sample some of the finest agave around at this annual event that raises money for local nonprofits that support Latino causes. Not into tequila? Local wines, beer and non-alcoholic aguas frescas will also be served. Organizers are providing authentic Mexican appetizers to give tasters the fortitude to last all evening. More than just tasting, the event aims to educate attendees on the most potent of spirits.
