Method

Preparation of Ingredients

  1. 1

    Prepare the Proteins

    Cook the chicken, shrimp, or asada as per your preference. For chicken, boil or grill until cooked through and shred. For shrimp, sauté in a pan until pink and opaque. For asada, grill or pan-sear until medium-rare, then slice thinly.

  2. 2

    Cook the Rice and Beans

    Prepare the rice according to package instructions. Heat the black beans in a small pot over low heat until warmed through.

Assembling Quesadillas

  1. 3

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    Take one flour tortilla and place it on a clean surface. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheese on one half of the tortilla. Add 1/2 cup of your choice of protein (chicken, shrimp, or asada) on top of the cheese, then fold the tortilla over to cover the filling.

  2. 4

    Cook the Quesadilla

    Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the folded quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with remaining tortillas and fillings.

Serving

  1. 5
