We love smoked chicken quesadillas with the fresh flour tortillas from Costco and mango salsa.
I use Tenderquick at a 1 cup salt to 4 cup water ratio. I like the idea of the water really opening up the chicken to allow the smoke to further penetrate, but I'm not sure it works any better than a direct rub.

Smoked chicken quesadillas are great. Unfortunately Costco out here doesn't carry the raw tortillas. I do like the idea of pairing it with mango salsa. Do you use a rub?
