Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Eight 8-inch tortillas (I'm using flour)
2 tablespoons oil (I'm using olive)
2 cups chopped or shredded roasted meat (I'm using yesterday's leftover chicken)
1 cup grated cheese (I'm using Cheddar)
2 jalapenos, sliced, optional
2 bell peppers, roasted and thinly sliced (I'm using red bell peppers)
1 cup sliced onion (I'm using red)
One 15-ounce can beans, rinsed (I'm using black)
Fresh cilantro, for topping, if you have it
Sour cream and lime, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium heat. You can also make this in a skillet on the stovetop.
  • For each quesadilla, brush a tortilla with olive oil. Place the tortilla on the grill or skillet and top with the desired fillings: chicken, cheese, jalapenos, bell peppers, onions or beans. Top with a second tortilla and brush the top with oil. Grill until the bottom tortilla is starting to brown, about 2 minutes. Flip and grill, covering the grill or the skillet if the cheese is not melting, until the other tortilla is beginning to brown, an additional 2 minutes.
  • Cut each quesadilla into quarters and garnish with cilantro, lime and sour cream if using.
