Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 lb chicken breast diced
  • 1 tbsp taco seasoning
  • Salt & pepper to season
  • 1 bell pepper any colour, diced
  • 1/2 red onion diced
  • 1/2 cup black beans
  • 1/2 cup corn
  • 2 tbsp cilantro optional, finely chopped
  • 3 cups cheddar cheese grated
  • 4 flour tortillas large size

For serving (optional)

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken then toss with taco seasoning and season with salt & pepper. Saute for 2 minutes until browned, then add bell pepper and onion, sauteeing for 5 more minutes. Add corn and black beans, cooking another 2 minutes. Stir in cilantro if using then remove from heat.
  • Preheat oven to 425 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, then add flour tortillas. Add a bit of cheese to the bottom of each tortilla, then divide filling, finishing with a bit more cheese.
  • Fold each tortilla over then bake for 10-12 minutes until cheese is melted and tortillas are golden brown. Cut each tortilla into 3 pieces, then enjoy with guacamole, sour cream and salsa if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

Nutritional info does not include sour cream, salsa or guacamole. 
Keep the filling light so the tortillas crisp up and hold together.
Pressing with another baking sheet helps them bake evenly.
You can assemble the quesadillas a few hours ahead and refrigerate until ready to bake.
Leftovers keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or skillet to bring back the crunch.
Freeze cooled pieces for up to 2 months. Bake from frozen at 350 F until hot, or thaw overnight for quicker reheating.
