    Easy Spicy Chicken Quesadillas, I know there are several recipes out there for this item, but my family swears by this one (we even served at Christmas Eve one year and it was a crowd pleaser) To make this recipe even faster, you can use the rotisserie chicken’s from the grocery store, or in a pinch, poach the chicken breasts in salted water for 10-15 minutes , I can attest to this recipe I had it prepared by SuzanneThePainter in person It was grand!, I know there are several recipes out there for this item, but my family swears by this one (we even served at Christmas Eve one year and it was a crowd pleaser) To make this recipe even faster, you can use the rotisserie chicken’s from the grocery store, or in a pinch, poach the chicken breasts in salted water for 10-15 minutes

    Steps

    1
    Done

    In a Bowl, Mix the Shredded Chicken and Spices (cumin, Paprika, Red Pepper, Salt) and Set Aside.

    2
    Done

    Into a Medium Frying Pan at Medium/Medium-High Heat Add Your Oil, Green Bell Pepper, White Onion, Jalapeno, Garlic, and Black Beans. Cook Until the Black Beans Soften Slightly and the Garlic Is Fragrant (about 3-5 Minutes). Add Tomatoes, Whites of the Green Onions, Cilantro, Cumin, and Paprika. Stir to Combine and Take Off the Heat.

    3

    to Assemble, Spray a Large Frying Pan With Non-Stick Spray (grill Pan or Griddle Will Work Well) Set to Medium/Medium-High Heat and Place a Single Tortilla in the Middle.

    4
    Done

    Sprinkle a Thin Layer of Cheese (about 3 Tablespoons) Over the Surface, Add a Layer of the Vegetable Mix (about 3 Tablespoons) to Half the Tortilla, and the Same Amount of Your Shredded Chicken to the Same Half, Finally Sprinkle Over About a Teaspoon of Your Reserved Un-Cooked Green Onions. Apply Another 3 Tablespoons of Cheese to the Top, Cover and Allow to Melt For About 2-3 Minutes.

    5
    Done

    Using a Spatula, Flip the Un-Topped Half Over the Topped Half, Pressing Lightly, Cover and Cook Another 2-3 Minutes So All the Cheese Has Melted and the Tortilla Is Crispy.

    6
    Done

    Continue Until All Your Veggie and Chicken Mixes Are Used Up. Setting Your Finished Quesadillas on a Cooling Rack in the Oven Set to Low. When Ready to Serve, Cut With a Pizza Cutter Into Slices and Enjoy! These Are Great With a Side of Sour Cream and/or Guacamole.
