Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Grilled Chicken

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Remove from heat and let it rest before slicing it into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, black beans, corn, mozzarella cheese, and cheddar cheese. Add the sliced grilled chicken and mix until well combined.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    Lay one jalapeno cheddar tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon a generous amount of the filling mixture onto one half of the tortilla, folding the other half over to cover the filling.

  2. 4

    Cook the Quesadilla

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a little oil if desired. Place the 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. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.

Serving

  1. 5

    Serve the Quesadilla

    Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve hot with a side of sour cream and southwest dressing for dipping.
