I can’t remember where I first saw this recipe for BBQ chicken quesadillas, but it is SO good! I whipped these up yesterday in about 20 minutes! They are perfect as an easy go-to meal for a busy week. My family really loves them and I like that they have a lot of protein.
Ingredients:
- flour tortillas
- 1c BBQ sauce
- 1c prepared brown rice
- 1 can red beans, kidney beans
- 1c shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 chicken breast cooked and cut into pieces (alternatively I use foster farms cooked grilled chicken from the sandwich meat aisle; so helpful!)
Directions:
- prepare rice, let cool
- heat skillet for quesadillas, set aside
- In another skillet warm cooked chicken, BBQ sauce and red beans, about 10 minutes
- Add rice and mix thoroughly
- Add one tortilla to hot skillet, add cheese and spoon on the rice/bean/chicken mixture
- Add top tortilla
- flip until both sides are golden brown, cool and cut
- Serve with side salad
