Provided by SuzanneThePainter

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 30m

Yield 4 Quesadillas, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 large skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 (16 ounce) can black beans (drained)
1 teaspoon lime juice
1/2 white onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 large jalapeno pepper, chopped (leave the ribs and seeds in if you want this hot)
1 fresh ripe tomatoes, chopped
3 green onions, chopped (separate the whites and greens)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
6 fajita-sized flour tortillas
2 cups grated cheese (Colby jack, cheddar, whatever you prefer)
poultry seasoning
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper
salt

Steps:

  • In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken and spices (cumin, paprika, red pepper, salt) and set aside.
  • Into a medium frying pan at medium/medium-high heat add your oil, green bell pepper, white onion, jalapeno, garlic, and black beans. Cook until the black beans soften slightly and the garlic is fragrant (about 3-5 minutes). Add tomatoes, whites of the green onions, cilantro, cumin, and paprika. Stir to combine and take off the heat.
  • To assemble, spray a large frying pan with non-stick spray (grill pan or griddle will work well) set to medium/medium-high heat and place a single tortilla in the middle.
  • Sprinkle a thin layer of cheese (about 3 tablespoons) over the surface, add a layer of the vegetable mix (about 3 tablespoons) to half the tortilla, and the same amount of your shredded chicken to the same half, finally sprinkle over about a teaspoon of your reserved un-cooked green onions. Apply another 3 tablespoons of cheese to the top, cover and allow to melt for about 2-3 minutes.
  • Using a spatula, flip the un-topped half over the topped half, pressing lightly, cover and cook another 2-3 minutes so all the cheese has melted and the tortilla is crispy.
  • Continue until all your veggie and chicken mixes are used up. Setting your finished quesadillas on a cooling rack in the oven set to low. When ready to serve, cut with a pizza cutter into slices and enjoy! These are great with a side of sour cream and/or guacamole.

EASY OVEN BAKED SPICY CHICKEN TACOS RECIPE - (3.9/5)



Easy Oven Baked Spicy Chicken Tacos Recipe - (3.9/5) image

Provided by á-3424

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 pound cooked chicken, shredded
1 packet Old El Paso Hot & Spicy Taco Seasoning, 1 ounce
1/2 cup onion, diced
1 can diced tomato, drained, 14.5
1 can Old El Paso Chopped Green Chiles, 4.5 ounces
10 Old El Paso Stand and Stuff Taco Shells
1/2 can Old El Paso Refried Beans, 16 ounces
2 cups Mexican Blend Cheese, shredded
Toppings such as Old El Paso sliced Jalapenos, sour cream, salsa, chopped cilantro, shredded lettuce, or any of your favorite taco toppings!

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F Spray a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick spray and set aside. Heat olive oil over medium heat in a medium skillet. Add onion to skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the onion is translucent and fragrant. Stir in the chicken, taco seasoning, tomatoes, and green chiles. Stir to combine fully. Reduce to simmer and allow to cook for 5-8 minutes. Place the taco shells in the baking dish, standing up. I was able to fit 10 taco shells in the dish by adding 2 on each side. Spoon 1 tablespoon of beans into the bottom of each taco shell. Top with the chicken mixture, almost to the top of each shell. Sprinkle each shell generously with shredded cheese, the more the better! Bake for 12-14 minutes or until cheese is fully melted and the edges of the shells are browned. Remove from the oven and top with your favorite items such as jalapenos, sour cream, cilantro, and salsa. Enjoy! Tips: Be sure to drain the tomatoes completely, this will help the taco shells to not get soggy while baking! If you prefer your tacos not spicy, just omit the green chilis and use regular Old El Paso Taco Seasoning. Just as delicious!
