CHICKEN AND BLACK BEAN QUESADILLA

CHICKEN AND BLACK BEAN QUESADILLA

I threw this together for dinner tonight and it was a keeper.

You'll need:

1 lb. chicken breast cut in 1/4 inch thin strips

1 green pepper sliced in thin strips

1/2 small red onion cut in thin strips

1 pkg. of fajita seasoning

1 can of black beans

1/4 cup water

1 tsp. chicken soup base

1/4 tsp each of onion powder, garlic powder,ground coriander and cumin

4 soft flour tortillas

1/2 pound your favorite cheese

In a sauce pan add black beans, water, soup base and all four spices.   Simmer for 10 minutes and mash with a potato masher to a chuncky paste and set aside.

In a large skillet saute the chicken until cook (about 12 minutes) and set aside in a bowl.   In the same pan saute the pepper and onions until tender ( about 5-8 minutes)   return chicken to pan and fajita season according to package directions.

Toast the tortillas and spread the blackbean mix over 1/2 of the tortilla add the chicken mixture and cheese and fold in half.   Bake in a 375 degree oven for about 15 minutes or until hot and cheese is melted.

Enjoy!
