Chicken and Black Bean Quesadillas
If you like Quesadillas with cheese you'll love this. The kids loved it. It has chicken, cheese, beans (fun-looking black ones!), salsa - all in a flour tortilla baked to perfection. It's easy to make and since the kids like it there isn't any complaining. Make a side dish of fiesta rice, there is a recipe for that too.
What You Need To Make It:
- 1 c Cheddar Cheese Soup
- 1/2 c Salsa
- 1 c Black Beans (rinse, drained)
-
3-4 Chicken Breast Chopped
- Or Chicken in a Can (2) - 10 Flour Tortillas
- Fiesta Rice (Optional Side)
Cheddar Cheese Soup, Black Beans, Salsa
Chicken Chopped (or Can Chicken)
Add Chicken to Mixture
Scoop Onto Flour Tortillas
Wet Tortillas, Fold and Press
A little time consuming, but well worth it. Doesn't have to be perfect! Also, if you don't want to fold it, just make 5 tortillas sandwiched with another tortilla.
Bake 5-10!
