BLACK BEAN AND CHICKEN QUESADILLAS

This is a recipe that my mom and I came up with. My hubby loves it and requests it often. For a quick version, try buying a pre-cooked box of seasoned fajita chicken instead of cooking your own. You can also buy black bean dip in a pinch.

GRILLED CHICKEN AND BLACK BEAN QUESADILLAS



Grilled Chicken and Black Bean Quesadillas image

I always make extra grilled chicken to be used in recipes like this a day or two later. The family really likes when I serve these. I do think the better the grilled chicken, the better the quesadilla. I usually make mine with Mirj's Recipe #15580 (that chicken is so versatile!) I'm very much into the habit of throwing this together so all measurements are approximate. Do more or less of anything that suits you better.

2 large grilled chicken breasts, sliced and bite size
1 1/4 cups canned black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup frozen corn, thawed
1 small onion, chopped
1 small green pepper, chopped
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
3 cups monterey jack and cheddar cheese blend

salsa, to serve on the side

Steps:

  • Saute green peppers and onions in vegetable oil until softened.
  • Combine cooked peppers and onion with beans, corn, cheeses, and seasoning.
