Ingredients

300 g Cooked chicken Approx 2-3 breasts.
400 g Black beans Drained and rinsed.
340 g Sweetcorn 1x tin. Drained and rinsed.
1/2 Red onion Peeled and finely chopped.
2 tsp Fajita seasoning
2 tsp Sunflower oil
8 Large flour tortillas
200 g Grated mozzarella

Instructions

In a large bowl, mix the chicken, beans, sweetcorn, onion and fajita seasoning.
Preheat 1/2 tsp of the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat.
Sit one tortilla in the pan, sprinkle over a small amount of the cheese (about 25g - no need to weigh but just as a guide!)
Spoon on a quarter of the chicken and bean mixture. (You’ll need to work reasonably quickly here so the bottom doesn’t start to burn.)
Sprinkle another 25g of cheese on top and sit another tortilla on top. Use the bottom of a clean saucepan to weigh down the quesadilla.
Cook on that side for 3 minutes, then remove the saucepan and carefully flip over. Cook for another 3 minutes.
Repeat this process to cook all of the quesadillas.
While you are cooking them, keep the others warm on a plate covered with tin foil OR keep warm in the oven on a very low heat.

Notes

Chicken: Use precooked chicken for speed, leftovers, or cook your own. If cooking your own before making this recipe, 300g is about 2-3 chicken breasts. Or use other cooked meat, like ham.
