CHICKEN MUSHROOM QUESADILLA

Steps:

• Add a tad of butter to a fry pan and add onions and mushrooms.
• When all the water that was released from the mushrooms has evaporated, add the cooked chicken, salsa, green chiles and drained and rinsed beans. In case you are wondering, why rinse the beans? There is so much flavor packed into those little guys from soaking in the soup broth and you don't want a soggy tortilla. Anyhow, simmer for about 5 minutes.
• Lightly butter one side of the tortilla and place in frypan (medium-low), add just enough cheese for the filling to stick to. Add the warm filling and top with more cheese. Top with another tortilla that has been lightly buttered on the side facing up. When cheese has melted on the bottom, carefully flip.
• Remove to plate when the other side has melted. I use a pizza roller to cut into 4 wedges.

• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bell peppers and cook until tender and slightly charred, 8 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.
• Lay a tortilla on a work surface and top evenly with 1/2 cup of the Cheddar. Add one-quarter of the shredded chicken and sauce and one-quarter of the bell peppers. Fold the tortilla in half to enclose the fillings. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and ingredients.
