Easy, Homemade Quesadillas

Ingredients:

20 oz Chicken

¾ – 1 Cup of Shredded Cheese (Mexican/Tri-blend is best)

1 can of Rotel Tomato and Green Chili (no sodium added)- drain liquid first

½ – ¾ cup Black Beans (from a can is fine- drain first)

½ – ¾ cup of shredded carrots (optional)

Cilantro

Mission Burrito Super Soft Tortillas 20 oz

Directions:

• Options as far as cooking the chicken:
  1. Chicken in a can will need to be cooked first in a pan with any seasonings such as cumin, chili seasoning, paprika, black pepper, Himalayan sea salt, oregano, etc.
  2. Frozen chicken will need to be thawed out and then cooked in a large pot. Bring the chicken to a boil and then bring down to a simmer for 1 hour and 40 minutes to max sure it cooks through and falls apart easily.
• In a bowl, mix together the black beans, tomato and green chili, carrots, and cilantro. Add chicken into the bowl and mix thoroughly once chicken is cooked.
• Line a large frying pan with unsalted butter or vegetable oil (lightly), turn the heat on Medium, and wait for it to heat up. Once warm, place one tortilla on the pan, fill with as much mix (I used 2 large serving spoons per tortilla) as you’d like, cover with the other half and press the edges.
• Flip every 30-45 seconds so the sides brown evenly.
• Cut into halves or quarters and enjoy!
