Easy Chicken Quesadillas

When you work all day and you come home tired and hungry, the last thing you want to do is stand in front of a stove. And if you're like me, you really can't afford to go out and eat.

I have learned to cut a few corners and still make pretty good food. These quesadillas are super easy and taste great.

Some of you have asked for the recipe, so here it is:

Easy Chicken Quesadillas

1 can black beans, drained
1 can diced tomatoes, drained
1 can whole kernel corn, drained
1 small can sliced black olives, drained
1 large can chunk chicken breast, drained
1 package taco seasoning
1 package shredded taco blend cheese
flour tortillas
oil for frying

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl.
Heat about 1 tbl. oil in skillet over medium heat. Place flour tortilla in skillet. Spoon mixture over half of the tortilla. Immediately fold other half over. Cook about 1-2 minutes. Flip quesadilla over and cook 1-2 more minutes.

That's it. You can serve it with a dollop of sour cream and chopped green onion if you want.

This can also be made with cooked ground beef.

This makes a lot! If you have a big family, great! If not, you can eat leftovers the next night, or take the mixture and add chicken broth in a large stockpot (enough to cover) and make taco soup.

Enjoy!
