One-Pan Easy Cheesy Chicken Quesadillas

with Black Beans & Sour Cream

These quesadillas are big on flavor AND ready in just 15 minutes with the help of a few kitchen tricks. We start with chicken breast strips, which are sautéed with black beans and Southwest spices to make a hearty filling. It’s layered onto tortillas with pepper jack and Monterey Jack cheese, then pan-toasted to achieve perfectly golden, gooey results. Each quesadilla is topped with sour cream for a cooling finish. A good thing just got a whole lot better.

  1. 1

    Drain and rinse beans.

    Pat chicken* dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium pan over medium-high heat. Add beans, chicken, and Southwest Spice. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. Season with a big pinch of salt and pepper.

    Turn off heat; transfer to a plate and set aside. Wipe out pan.

  3. 3

    Place tortillas on a clean work surface. Evenly sprinkle pepper jack onto one half of each tortilla. Top with chicken and bean filling, then sprinkle with Monterey Jack. Fold tortillas in half to create quesadillas.
