Hey everyone! Today, I'm excited to share with you my delicious and easy-to-make Chicken Quesadillas. These are packed with juicy chicken, corn, black beans, spinach, and gooey mozzarella cheese, all wrapped in crispy tortillas. They’re perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a fun weekend meal. Let's get started!
Ingredients:
1 lb chicken tenders
1/2 bag frozen corn
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup fresh spinach
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder (to taste)
Flour tortillas
Butter
Homemade pico de gallo (for serving)
Sriracha aioli (for serving)
Fresh lime (for serving)
Instructions:
Cook the Chicken:
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the chicken tenders.
Cook until the chicken is halfway done, then turn the pieces over and cook the other side.
Once the chicken is mostly cooked through, use a spatula to break it into smaller pieces.
Add Vegetables:
Add the frozen corn and black beans to the skillet. Stir to combine.
Add the fresh spinach, but just a little bit to avoid overpowering the other flavors.
Cover the skillet and turn the heat up slightly to help the spinach cook down.
Melt the Cheese:
Once the spinach starts to cook down, give everything a good toss to ensure even cooking.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to taste.
Cover the skillet again and continue cooking over medium heat until the cheese is melted and everything is well combined.
Assemble the Quesadillas:
Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat and butter it up.
Lay a tortilla on the griddle and brown one side.
Flip the tortilla over and add a generous amount of the chicken mixture on one half of the tortilla.
Fold the tortilla over to enclose the filling and cook until both sides are golden brown and crispy.
Serve:
Once the quesadillas are cooked, remove them from the griddle and cut them into wedges.
Serve with homemade pico de gallo, sriracha aioli (a simple mix of sriracha and mayo), and fresh lime wedges.
Conclusion:
And there you have it—flavorful Chicken Quesadillas that are perfect for any meal! The combination of juicy chicken, sweet corn, hearty black beans, and gooey cheese wrapped in a crispy tortilla is simply irresistible.
