Crispy Chicken and Black Bean Protein Quesadilla
Enjoy a protein-packed, crispy quesadilla featuring golden-brown chicken, hearty black beans, and a blend of melty reduced-fat cheese nestled in a whole wheat tortilla. Finished with vibrant bell peppers and onions, this dish delivers a satisfying crunch and a burst of flavor in every bite.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast (cooked)
1 piece Whole Wheat Tortilla
1/4 cup Black Beans
1/4 cup Reduced-Fat Shredded Cheddar Cheese
1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper, sliced
1/4 medium Onion, thinly sliced
2 sprays Olive Oil
1/2 tsp Cumin
1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly spray with olive oil.
Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, cumin, and smoked paprika. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until crispy and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Once cooked, shred or chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and red bell pepper; sauté until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
Lower the heat and place the whole wheat tortilla in the skillet. Evenly spread the shredded chicken on one half of the tortilla.
Add black beans, sautéed vegetables, and then sprinkle the reduced-fat cheddar cheese on top.
Fold the tortilla over to create a quesadilla. Press lightly with a spatula to ensure even heating.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes per side until the tortilla is crispy and cheese is melted.
Remove from heat, slice into wedges, and serve hot.
