Easy Chicken Quesadillas image

I came up with this recipe on a whim. I love quesadillas, but am picky about what goes in them. This was super easy to make and tasted really good. Serve as is or with salsa and sour cream.

Time 45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons butter
6 chicken breast tenders
1 (.18 ounce) packet sazon seasoning
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 cup instant rice
1 cup water
1 (14 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 (.18 ounce) packet sazon seasoning
1 teaspoon garlic salt
8 extra-large flour tortillas
1 (16 ounce) package shredded Mexican cheese blend
1 tablespoon softened butter, or as needed

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir chicken, 1 packet sazon seasoning, and 1 teaspoon garlic salt, shredding chicken as it cooks until no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Bring rice and water to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Stir black beans, 1 packet sazon seasoning, and teaspoon garlic salt together in a microwave-safe bowl. Cook in microwave until heated through, about 2 minutes. Add black bean mixture to rice.
  • Place each tortilla on a work surface; layer half of each tortilla with bean-rice mixture, Mexican cheese, shredded chicken, and more Mexican cheese. Fold each tortilla in half. Spread a thin layer of softened butter atop each quesadilla.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat; cook each quesadilla, butter-side down, until cheese is melted and outside is crisp and brown, about 5 minutes per side. Cut into wedges.

The quesadillas were a bit too greasy for me. I think I'll use less oil next time.

These quesadillas were a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I'm not a big fan of quesadillas, but these were actually really good. The chicken was tender and juicy, and the cheese was melted and gooey.
