Ingredients
- 1.5 cups chopped cooked chicken
- 15 oz can black beans, drained
- 1/4 red onion
- 1 jalapeño
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro
- 2 cups shredded cheddar
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ Sauce
- 10 7 inch flour tortillas
Directions
- Put the chopped chicken and drained black beans in a large bowl. Finely chop the red onion. Take the seeds out of the jalapeño, then finely chop it too. Remove the cilantro leaves from the stems and give them a rough chop. Add the onion, jalapeño, and cilantro to the bowl, followed by the shredded cheddar. Sprinkle in the chili powder, smoked paprika, and salt, then add the BBQ sauce. Stir until the filling is evenly mixed.
- For each tortilla, spoon on about 1/3 cup of the filling. Spread the BBQ chicken mixture across 1 half of the tortilla, then fold the tortilla closed.
- Cook the filled tortillas in a dry skillet set over medium-low heat until the outside is browned and crisp, the filling is hot, and the cheese has melted. Slice each quesadilla in half and serve.
