Chicken and Black Bean Quesadillas

If you keep the ingredients handy, Chicken and Black Bean Quesadillas can be thrown together in less than 30 minutes. Fast, frugal, and delicious!

Chicken and Black Bean Quesadillas

• 1 can black beans (I use 1 1/2 cups cooked beans)
• 1 cup cooked, shredded chicken
• 1 cup salsa
• 1-2 cups shredded cheddar, colby, or Mexican blend cheese
• soft taco sized tortillas
• optional:  shredded lettuce, sour cream

Mash black beans with a fork.  Add chicken, salsa, and cheese.  Mix together.

Place a tortilla on a skillet heated to medium (or low-medium).  Spread with 1/2 to 3/4 cup meat and bean mixture.  Top with another tortilla.  Flip quesadilla.  Cut in fourths.

Serve with lettuce, sour cream, extra salsa and cheese.  Makes 4 quesadillas.

**Tip:  For even faster preparation,  meat mixture can be put together and frozen.  Just thaw, spread, and heat on the skillet.
