Spicy Chicken and Black Bean Quesadillas
These quick and easy quesadillas are packed with flavorful chicken, black beans, and melty cheese, making them a perfect family-friendly lunch. They come together in under 30 minutes for a satisfying meal.
Let's cook.
In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, rinsed black beans, corn kernels, chopped red onion, and taco seasoning. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Place one flour tortilla in the hot skillet. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded cheese over half of the tortilla.
Spoon about 1/4 cup of the chicken and black bean mixture over the cheese.
Sprinkle another 1/4 cup of shredded cheese over the chicken mixture.
Fold the empty half of the tortilla over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the cooked quesadilla from the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining tortillas, chicken mixture, and cheese, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve immediately with your favorite toppings like salsa, sour cream, or guacamole.
