I came up with this recipe on a whim. I love quesadillas, but am picky about what goes in them. This was super easy to make and tasted really good. Serve as is or with salsa and sour cream.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 6 chickens breast tenders
- 1 packet sazon seasoning , .18 ounce
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 cup instant rice
- 1 cup water
- 1 can black beans , 14 ounce
- 1 packet sazon seasoning , .18 ounce
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 8 extra-large flour tortillas
- 1 package shredded Mexican cheese blend , 16 ounce
- 1 tablespoon softened butter , or as needed
Instructions
-
1
Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir chicken, 1 packet sazon seasoning, and 1 teaspoon garlic salt, shredding chicken as it cooks until no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 8 to 10 minutes.
-
2
Bring rice and water to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, 5 to 10 minutes.
-
3
Stir black beans, 1 packet sazon seasoning, and teaspoon garlic salt together in a microwave-safe bowl. Cook in microwave until heated through, about 2 minutes. Add black bean mixture to rice.

4
Place each tortilla on a work surface; layer half of each tortilla with bean-rice mixture, Mexican cheese, shredded chicken, and more Mexican cheese. Fold each tortilla in half. Spread a thin layer of softened butter atop each quesadilla.

5
Heat a large skillet over medium heat; cook each quesadilla, butter-side down, until cheese is melted and outside is crisp and brown, about 5 minutes per side. Cut into wedges.

Gluten-Free Pizza Crust or Flatbread
This gluten-free flatbread recipe is for a crust that can be used for pizza or flatbreads. After two years of cutting gluten out of my diet, this is the best pizza crust recipe I have — based on trial and error. My kids say this is better than our homemade wheat flour crusts.
