Quesadilla Ingredients

Method

Quesadilla Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, black beans, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly distributed.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    Place 1 flour tortilla on a clean surface. Spread half of the cheese (both cheddar and mozzarella) evenly over one half of the tortilla. Spoon the chicken and bean mixture over the cheese, then top with the remaining cheese. Fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.

  3. 3

    Cook the Quesadilla

    Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the folded quesadilla into the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown and crispy, then carefully flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Once both sides are golden and the cheese is melted, remove the quesadilla from the skillet. Cut it in half and serve warm with sour cream and salsa on the side.
