Chicken and Black Bean Quesadilla
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup diced red onion
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix 2 cups of cooked shredded chicken, 1 cup of black beans, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup of diced red onion, and 1/4 cup of chopped fresh cilantro. Season with 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, 1 teaspoon of chili powder, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Lay out 4 large flour tortillas. Divide the chicken and black bean mixture evenly among the tortillas, spreading it over half of each tortilla. Fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling to create a half-moon shape.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Place one or two quesadillas in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with the remaining quesadillas, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
- Remove the quesadillas from the skillet and let them cool for a minute before cutting them into wedges. Serve hot and enjoy!
