Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, black beans, corn, red bell pepper, onion, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  2. Lay out the tortillas on a flat surface. Evenly distribute the chicken and black bean mixture over half of each tortilla.
  3. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the filling. Fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling to form a half-moon shape.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  5. Place one or two quesadillas in the skillet (depending on the size of your skillet) and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  6. Remove from the skillet and repeat with the remaining quesadillas, adding more oil or butter as needed.
  7. Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve warm with salsa, sour cream, and guacamole on the side, if desired.
  8. Enjoy your delicious and easy chicken quesadilla with black beans!
