1 quesadilla (~250 g) has about 600 calories.
Why estimates miss: Chicken Quesadilla is a multi-ingredient dish. Melted cheese and the griddled tortilla add far more fat than the chicken filling. Generic calorie apps undercount the hidden oil, sauce and portion — CalDesk AI's photo estimate is tuned to catch exactly this.
