Chicken & Black Bean Quesadilla



What is avocado salsa without some yummy quesadilla's to go along with it. This was my first time trying this recipe. The biggest mistake I made was putting all the ingredients in the tortilla on the skillet. It is way too hard to flip it unless you are a pro. I recommened, cutting the tortilla in advance, then cooking each slice. I know that sounds like a lot of steps, but you don't want to make a mess. This was a very easy recipe. Like I have said in the past and will continue to say. I am not a huge fan of recipes that take a long time to cook. Why make it hard when they taste just as good when they are simple! :)

Chicken Ingredients:

2 cups of roasted chicken ( you can always use left over chicken from the meal before).
2-3 tbsp of fresh cilantro, chopped

2-3 tbsp of yellow onion, chopped

3 tbsp lime juice

Garlic Power, to taste

Cumin, to taste

Sea salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Other Ingredients:
1 tsp olive oil

1 red onion sliced

Sea salt to taste

Chicken mixture

Black beans, rinsed and drained

Cheese, shredded

Tortillas
Sour Cream




Directions:

Heat the olive oil in a skillet on medium heat. Add the onion and cook it, stirring occasionally for 20 minutes. Season with sea salt, to taste. Layer the tortilla with a bit of sour cream, chicken mixture, black beans, onion and cheese. Cook in a dry skillet over medium heat until lightly golden brown, about 2-3 minutes, then flip over. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Remove from skillet. Grab your avocado corn salsa and enjoy with your quesadilla!
