Quesadilla and Sides

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken with salt and pepper to taste.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    Lay out two flour tortillas. On each tortilla, spread half of the shredded cheese, add the shredded chicken evenly, and top with the remaining cheese. Place another tortilla on top of each.

  3. 3

    Cook the Quesadilla

    Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place one quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with the second quesadilla, adding more oil if necessary.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Sides

    While the quesadillas are cooking, heat the cooked rice and black beans in separate pots or the microwave until warmed through.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve with rice, black beans, sour cream, and salsa on the side.
