Black Bean and Chicken Quesadillas

Recipe #105893 | 25 min | 15 min prep | add private note

This is a recipe that my mom and I came up with. My hubby loves it and requests it often. For a quick version, try buying a pre-cooked box of seasoned fajita chicken instead of cooking your own. You can also buy black bean dip in a pinch.

    I have made this twice now and both times we have LOVED it. I used mexican cheese and whole wheat tortilla's. Our family doesn't like sour cream or guacomoli so I didn't use them. I didn't have taco seasoning so I used chili seasoning and just added that to the beans. I also didn't use the onions. One of my son's is really picky and would never eat Quesadillas. I grilled all of the chicken and used part for our quesadillas and the other part for his meal. Works like a charm! It is fantastic!!

    This was great!! the sour cream dip was awesome too!! The only difference I might make is to add more taco seasoning to the bean mixture. Otherwise it was perfect. I used the leftovers for lunch a few days later and the kids ate it up again. Thanks for sharing this tasty recipe.
