Pork Mole Fajita Quesadillas

I tried something new for dinner today. I was a little skeptical about the combination of chocolate and peppers in a quesadilla, but we tried it. To my surprise both my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed them. I would like to make these again; however, for the time I put into them, it may not be worth it. That's just me though, I strongly suggest you try these for yourself. You may be surprised at how delicious this odd combination will be, and you may have fun trying it.
