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
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.

Steps:
- Saute green peppers and onions in vegetable oil until softened.
- Combine cooked peppers and onion with beans, corn, cheeses, and seasoning.
- Spread some mixture over one half of a tortilla. Fold tortilla over to form a half moon and press around the edges.
- Lightly spray or brush a skillet with vegetable oil.
- Grill the quesadilla on medium to medium high heat. Each side takes about 3 minutes.
- Do the same for the reaming mixture and tortillas.
- It's easiest to use a pizza cutter to cut them into wedges.
- Serve with sour cream and salsa.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Quesadillas are a great way to use up leftover chicken and beans, but for the best flavor, start with fresh ingredients. Use ripe tomatoes, onions, and cilantro, and season the quesadillas with your favorite spices.
- Don't overstuff the quesadillas: Quesadillas should be filled with just enough ingredients so that they can be folded in half without spilling out. If you overstuff them, they will be difficult to cook evenly and the filling may fall out.
- Use a hot skillet: A hot skillet is essential for getting a crispy quesadilla. If the skillet is not hot enough, the quesadilla will not cook evenly and the cheese will not melt properly.
- Cook the quesadillas in batches: If you are making a lot of quesadillas, cook them in batches so that they do not overcrowd the skillet. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking together.
- Serve the quesadillas immediately: Quesadillas are best served immediately after they are cooked. This is when they are at their crispiest and the cheese is melted and gooey. You can serve them with your favorite toppings, such as salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
Conclusion:
Quesadillas are a delicious and versatile dish that can be made with a variety of ingredients. They are perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a fun party appetizer. With a little practice, you can make quesadillas that are crispy, cheesy, and packed with flavor. So next time you are looking for a tasty and satisfying meal, give quesadillas a try!
