CHICKEN, BLACK BEAN & CORN GRILLED QUESADILLAS



Chicken, Black Bean & Corn Grilled Quesadillas image

Now, leftovers ... wondering what to do with a chicken breast or a little rotisserie chicken left over. Take frozen corn, a can of beans, a little fresh ingredients and packaged cheese and WOW. Now I like to roast fresh corn, but frozen corn is just fine for this if time is a problem. Grill inside or outside and top with some fresh tomato, maybe some sour cream or avocado and serve over some quick Mexican rice and a bed of lettuce and dinner for 4. I make these a lot utilizing leftovers and it makes an amazing quick dinner. You can make these completely vegetarian, or use up ham, shrimp, chicken, steak, any veggies in your fridge. Then have fun with the toppings ... Salsa, mango, avocado, sour cream, guacamole, a nice bed of shredded lettuce or even some good Mexican rice.

Categories     Chicken

Time 20m

Yield 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

15 ounces black beans, rinsed and drained (1 can)
1 cup corn (frozen is just fine for this)
1 cup chicken, shredded (use a leftover a chicken breast leftover or even a little bit of rotisserie chicken)
1 tablespoon diced jalapeno, ribs and seeds removed and diced very fine (more or less to taste)
2 cups monterey jack pepper cheese
1/4 cup cilantro, fresh and chopped well
8 flour tortillas
3 teaspoons olive oil (1 to saute the filling and 2 to brush on the tortillas)
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic, minced
1 teaspoon chili powder
sliced avocado
salsa
sour cream
chopped lettuce

Steps:

  • Filling -- In a large saute pan, add the garlic, jalapeno and cook 2 minutes, then add the beans, corn, chicken, cilantro, cumin, chili powder and mix well and heat up. That is it.
  • Stuff the Quesadilla -- Top one side of the quesadilla with the filling, top with cheese and fold in half (to form a half circle).
  • Grill -- This can be done on a inside grill pan or outside grill, saute pan, or a 400 degree oven. Just make sure to brush the quesadilla with some oil oil to get a nice crispy golden brown quesadilla. Just a couple of minutes per side is all it takes on the grill or grill pan. Just make sure the cheese melts and the quesadilla gets golden brown. Medium heat is all you need. Each grill inside or out or saute pan is different so just cook until golden brown is all.
  • Serve -- Cut the quesadilla in 2-3 slices. I just use a pizza cutter or a knife works fine. For me -- I serve over a bed of lettuce or Mexican rice, then add maybe some sour cream, salsa and always avocado slices (just my favorite). Use your favorite toppings. Fresh diced tomatoes or black olives are also very good. ENJOY!

GRILLED CHICKEN AND BLACK BEAN QUESADILLAS



Grilled Chicken and Black Bean Quesadillas image

I always make extra grilled chicken to be used in recipes like this a day or two later. The family really likes when I serve these. I do think the better the grilled chicken, the better the quesadilla. I usually make mine with Mirj's Recipe #15580 (that chicken is so versatile!) I'm very much into the habit of throwing this together so all measurements are approximate. Do more or less of anything that suits you better.

QUESADILLAS AND BLACK BEAN PICO DE GALLO



Quesadillas and Black Bean Pico De Gallo image

Here is a fast, easy way to make a great snack with chicken. Kids will like the cheesy goodness. Adults will love the pico de gallo (literally, "beak of the rooster." It is an excellent chunky salsa with the nutrients kicked way up by the black beans. I use a combination of butter and olive oil in a skillet to get the crispier exterior. If you like, you can spray each quesadilla with cooking spray and bake at 350 degrees until the cheese is melted, but this does not give the same crispness. Prep time includes 3 hours refigeration time for the pico.
