CHICKEN, BLACK BEAN & CORN GRILLED QUESADILLAS



Chicken, Black Bean & Corn Grilled Quesadillas image

Now, leftovers ... wondering what to do with a chicken breast or a little rotisserie chicken left over. Take frozen corn, a can of beans, a little fresh ingredients and packaged cheese and WOW. Now I like to roast fresh corn, but frozen corn is just fine for this if time is a problem. Grill inside or outside and top with some fresh tomato, maybe some sour cream or avocado and serve over some quick Mexican rice and a bed of lettuce and dinner for 4. I make these a lot utilizing leftovers and it makes an amazing quick dinner. You can make these completely vegetarian, or use up ham, shrimp, chicken, steak, any veggies in your fridge. Then have fun with the toppings ... Salsa, mango, avocado, sour cream, guacamole, a nice bed of shredded lettuce or even some good Mexican rice.

Categories     Chicken

Time 20m

Yield 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

15 ounces black beans, rinsed and drained (1 can)
1 cup corn (frozen is just fine for this)
1 cup chicken, shredded (use a leftover a chicken breast leftover or even a little bit of rotisserie chicken)
1 tablespoon diced jalapeno, ribs and seeds removed and diced very fine (more or less to taste)
2 cups monterey jack pepper cheese
1/4 cup cilantro, fresh and chopped well
8 flour tortillas
3 teaspoons olive oil (1 to saute the filling and 2 to brush on the tortillas)
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic, minced
1 teaspoon chili powder
sliced avocado
salsa
sour cream
chopped lettuce

Steps:

  • Filling -- In a large saute pan, add the garlic, jalapeno and cook 2 minutes, then add the beans, corn, chicken, cilantro, cumin, chili powder and mix well and heat up. That is it.
  • Stuff the Quesadilla -- Top one side of the quesadilla with the filling, top with cheese and fold in half (to form a half circle).
  • Grill -- This can be done on a inside grill pan or outside grill, saute pan, or a 400 degree oven. Just make sure to brush the quesadilla with some oil oil to get a nice crispy golden brown quesadilla. Just a couple of minutes per side is all it takes on the grill or grill pan. Just make sure the cheese melts and the quesadilla gets golden brown. Medium heat is all you need. Each grill inside or out or saute pan is different so just cook until golden brown is all.
  • Serve -- Cut the quesadilla in 2-3 slices. I just use a pizza cutter or a knife works fine. For me -- I serve over a bed of lettuce or Mexican rice, then add maybe some sour cream, salsa and always avocado slices (just my favorite). Use your favorite toppings. Fresh diced tomatoes or black olives are also very good. ENJOY!

1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
1 can black beans, drained
1 cup frozen corn kernels
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, chopped
1/2 cup smoky barbecue sauce
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the oil and the sliced mushrooms to the hot skillet. Season mushrooms with black pepper, salt and thyme. Saute the mushrooms 10 minutes or, until dark and tender, then remove from heat. Transfer the mushrooms to a dish and return the skillet to the stove over medium heat.
  • Add another turn of extra-virgin olive oil to the skillet and add the onions, garlic and jalapeno pepper; saute for 2 or 3 minutes, then add beans and corn to the pan. Stir in chopped tomatoes and barbecue sauce, then season salsa with salt and pepper. Transfer warm salsa to a serving dish.
  • Heat a griddle pan or large nonstick skillet over medium to medium high heat. Add a drizzle of oil to the pan and 1 flour tortilla. Cook tortilla 1 minute, then turn it over. Sprinkle 1/2 cup sharp cheddar over 1/2 of the flour tortilla. Cover the cheese with 1/4 of the cooked sliced mushrooms. Fold the plain 1/2 of the tortilla over top of the filling and gently press down with a spatula. Cook the filled quesadilla 30 seconds to a minute longer on each side to lightly brown and crisp the quesadilla and melt the cheese. Remove the quesadilla to a large cutting board or transfer to a warm oven to hold, then repeat with remaining quesadilla ingredients.
  • Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve with warm salsa for topping.

GRILLED CHICKEN AND BLACK BEAN QUESADILLAS



Grilled Chicken and Black Bean Quesadillas image

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.

Time 35m

Yield 4-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 large grilled chicken breasts, sliced and bite size
1 1/4 cups canned black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup frozen corn, thawed
1 small onion, chopped
1 small green pepper, chopped
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
3 cups monterey jack and cheddar cheese blend
taco seasoning, to taste (or do a combo of chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder)
10 flour tortillas
sour cream, to serve on the side
salsa, to serve on the side

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 ripe black beans. This will ensure that they are soft and flavorful. If you don't have ripe black beans, you can cook them yourself by soaking them overnight and then simmering them for 1-2 hours.
  • Mash the black beans before adding them to the quesadillas. This will help to distribute the flavor evenly and prevent the beans from becoming too dry.
  • Use a variety of cheeses. This will add different flavors and textures to the quesadillas. Some good options include cheddar, mozzarella, and Monterey Jack.
  • Add your favorite toppings. Some popular options include salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and Pico de Gallo.
  • Serve the quesadillas immediately. This will ensure that they are crispy and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Black bean quesadillas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover black beans. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
