Crispy Chicken and Black Bean Quesadilla
Savor a crispy, protein-packed quesadilla featuring tender baked chicken, hearty black beans, and a melty layer of low-fat cheese, all nestled inside a warm whole wheat tortilla. Flavored with vibrant red bell pepper and a hint of cumin, this dish delivers a satisfying crunch and a burst of Southwestern flair.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
¼ cup Canned Black Beans
1 Whole Wheat Tortilla
¼ cup Low-Fat Cheddar Cheese
¼ cup diced Red Bell Pepper
¼ cup diced Onion
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Cumin
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Dice the red bell pepper and onion. Sauté them in the skillet for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
Add the cooked, shredded or chopped chicken breast to the skillet along with the cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir for another 2 minutes to warm through and infuse flavors.
Lightly mash the black beans in a small bowl and then mix them with the sautéed veggies and chicken.
Place the whole wheat tortilla on a clean surface. Evenly spread the chicken and black bean mixture over half of the tortilla.
Sprinkle the low-fat cheddar cheese on top of the mixture.
Fold the tortilla in half to enclose the filling and return it to the skillet. Grill for about 2-3 minutes per side until the tortilla is crispy and the cheese is melted.
Slice into wedges and serve immediately.
