Method
Preparing the Quesadilla Filling
Cook the Chicken
In a skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the chicken breast and cook until fully cooked through, approximately 6-7 minutes per side depending on thickness. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before shredding.
Assemble Quesadilla
Place one tortilla on the skillet over medium heat. On half of the tortilla, layer some shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, and mozzarella cheese. Fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.
Cook Quesadilla
Cook the quesadilla for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas.
Preparing the Sides
Cook Rice
In a saucepan, cook the white rice according to package instructions. Typically, use 2 cups of water for every 1 cup of rice. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes.
Heat Black Beans
In a small pot, heat the black beans over medium heat until warmed through. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Prepare Salad
Wash and chop the lettuce and tomato into bite-sized pieces. Mix them in a bowl to create a fresh salad.
Serve
On each plate, serve a quesadilla along with a portion of rice, black beans, and a side salad. Garnish the salad with a dollop of sour cream and lime wedges.
