Cowboy Quesadillas

June 17, 2013

If you like quesadillas, and even if you don't, then this glorified spin on the plain grilled cheese tortilla is sure to strike your fancy. It's the perfect (and delicious) way to utilize that extra bit of shredded chicken or those half-cans of corn and black beans sitting in your refrigerator. They are unbelievably good and such a no-fuss, quick-fix meal! We like to dip them in barbecue sauce or Pineapple Habanero Sauce from Costco, but they'd also be good with ranch or sour cream. Give the

1/2 C white rice
1/3 C black beans
1 cup diced cooked chicken
1/3 C fresh frozen corn kernels (no need to thaw)
2/3 C diced tomato
3 Tbs sliced green onion
1 1/2 C shredded cheese (any type or combo you like)
1/4 C bbq sauce (*I use Jack Daniel's Honey Smokehouse. I like to add a little more bbq sauce and a few spoonfuls of sour cream, just 'til the mixture is moistened throughout)
6 small tortillas (fajita size, about 6?)

Combine rice, beans, chicken, corn, tomato, green onion and shredded cheese. Add bbq sauce and stir to combine. Place about 1/3 C of mixture on half of each tortilla and fold over to close. Heat a skillet...
