Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 8 large flour tortillas

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced chicken, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes.
  2. Stir in the onion, bell pepper, and garlic, and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 4-5 minutes.
  3. Add the corn and black beans, cooking until heated through, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and mix in the chopped cilantro.
  4. Lay out four tortillas on a flat surface. Evenly sprinkle a layer of shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese on each tortilla.
  5. Spoon the chicken and vegetable mixture over the cheese. Top with another layer of cheese and cover with a second tortilla.
  6. Heat 1/2 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Place one quesadilla in the skillet and cook until the bottom is golden brown and the cheese starts to melt, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Flip the quesadilla and cook the other side until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted, another 2-3 minutes. Remove from the skillet and repeat with the remaining quesadillas, adding more butter as needed.
  8. Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve hot.
