INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
1/4 cup Black Beans, drained
1 Whole Wheat Tortilla
1/4 cup Reduced-Fat Cheddar Cheese, shredded
1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 tsp Cumin Powder
1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika
PREPARATION
Slice the chicken breast into thin strips and season with cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken strips until they are crispy and no longer pink, about 4-5 minutes per side.
In the same skillet, add the sliced red bell pepper and sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
Warm the whole wheat tortilla in a separate pan or in the microwave for about 20 seconds to make it pliable.
Assemble the quesadilla by layering the cooked chicken, black beans, sautéed red bell pepper, and shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese on one half of the tortilla.
Fold the tortilla over to cover the filling and cook in a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat, pressing gently with a spatula. Cook each side for 2-3 minutes until the tortilla is crispy and the cheese has melted.
Remove from heat, slice into wedges, and serve warm.
