Chicken

Serves

3-4 servings

Ingredients

2 tbs olive oil
4 boneless chicken breasts, sliced longways
6 tortillas
2 cups frozen corn, cooked and drained
1/2 of a 15oz can of black beans, drained and rinsed
3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup water
1 package of taco seasoning

Recipe

  • In a large saucepan, add the olive oil and the raw chicken slices. 
  • Once they’re almost fully cooked, add in the water and taco seasoning packet.
  • Stir until everything is cooked and nicely incorporated. The chicken will be a little orangish and brown and that’s perfect! It’s taking in the taco seasoning. 
  • In a smaller saucepan on medium heat, add one of the tortillas, using tongs, grab 1/3 of the chicken and set them on the tortilla. 
  • Spoon 1/3 of the beans and corn on top of the chicken. 
  • Sprinkle one cup of the cheese on top of the beans, corn and chicken. 
  • Once the cheese begins to melt, add the top tortilla and using a large spatula, flip the quesadilla over to cook the other tortilla. 
  • Cook until the tortilla is a little brown and then remove from the skillet. 
  • Using a pizza cutter, slice the quesadillas into 4 triangles.
  • Repeat the above instructions for the two remaining quesadillas.
