Chicken and Cheese Quesadillas


Ingredients:

  • 2 large whole wheat tortillas
  • 1 cup cooked and shredded chicken breast
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup salsa (optional)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions:

  1. Assemble the Quesadillas: Lay one tortilla on a flat surface. Spread half of the shredded chicken, cheese, black beans, and cilantro evenly over the tortilla. Top with a second tortilla.
  2. Cook the Quesadillas: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the assembled quesadilla in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  3. Cut and Serve: Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for a minute before slicing it into wedges. Serve with salsa on the side, if desired.
  4. Repeat: Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make another quesadilla.

These chicken and cheese quesadillas are a quick and tasty lunch that kids will love, packed with protein and flavor.
