⚠️ Important Note: if a substitute isn’t listed below, I don’t recommend omitting or replacing that ingredient, as it will significantly alter the final dish.
For the quesadilla:
cheddar: I like cheddar the best here as it’s not super gooey and the cheddar flavor pairs so well with the green onions and kimchi. That said feel free to experiment, you really can’t go wrong
kimchi: can skip or sub something else pickled
chicken: can skip or make it veg with sauteed mushrooms instead
For the sauce:
sour cream: greek yogurt
kimchi + kimchi juice: can skip if you hate it!
