INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Black Beans (low sodium, drained)
1 Whole Wheat Tortilla
1/4 cup Low-Fat Cheddar Cheese (shredded)
1/2 Red Bell Pepper
1/2 small Onion
1 tbsp Smoky BBQ Sauce
PREPARATION
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of smoky BBQ sauce. Cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked and slightly charred. Allow it to rest and then dice into bite-sized pieces.
In the same skillet, sauté the chopped red bell pepper and onion until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the black beans to the skillet and stir to combine with the veggies.
Place the whole wheat tortilla on a clean pan or skillet. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese on one side of the tortilla.
Layer the cooked chicken, sautéed veggies, and black beans evenly over the cheese, then drizzle with a little extra BBQ sauce if desired.
Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top and fold the tortilla in half.
Cook the quesadilla over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side until the tortilla is crispy and the cheese is melted.
Cut into wedges and serve warm.
