Black Bean & Corn Chicken Quesadillas

by +

Quesadillas are such an easy meal and this black bean and corn chicken quesadilla is a great spin on a classic. The best part? These are so simple, just a few ingredients, and healthy too.

Growing up we are tons of quesadillas. Two things always in our house were tortillas and cheese. These are two things I always keep on hand now too. But for this black bean and corn quesadilla we are amping it up while still keeping it simple. The black bean and corn is a jar of salsa. Just mix that with shredded chicken, spread some cheese, and bake in a tortilla. You’ve got a filling, delicious, protein packed meal.
