Santa Fe Chicken Quesadilla
Cuisine: Mexican
This is absolutely the best quesadilla I have ever had! So many great flavors!
Ingredients
  • 2 6-inch flour tortillas
  • 2 oz. cream cheese, softened
  • ½ tsp. chili powder
  • ¼ cup cooked and diced chicken
  • ¼ cup black beans
  • ¼ cup corn
  • 2 Tbsp. fresh cilantro, finely chopped
  • ¼ cup shredded Mexican cheese
  • ¼ cup diced avocado
Instructions
  1. Lightly butter one side of each tortilla.
  2. In a small bowl, stir cream cheese and chili powder together until evenly mixed.
  3. Spread 1 Tablespoon on each of the remaining sides of the tortillas.
  4. Evenly sprinkle chicken, black beans, corn, avocado, cilantro and mexican cheese onto on top of the cream cheese mixture of one of the tortillas.
  5. Place remaining tortilla, cream cheese side in, on top.
  6. Cook on low heat until lightly browned then flip over to other side of quesadilla. To get cheese to melt, I place the lid over the pan to trap in the steam and heat while both sides brown.
  7. Serve with sour cream, salsa, guacamole or whatever you would like.
