Chicken and Black Bean Quesadillas
- Stir the chicken, black beans, corn (if using), cumin, chili powder and salt together in a bowl.
- Heat the oven to 200°F (95°C) to keep finished quesadillas warm.
- Lay a tortilla flat. Sprinkle 1/4 cup cheese over half of it.
- Spoon a quarter of the chicken mixture over the cheese, then add another 1/4 cup cheese and some cilantro on top.
- Fold the empty half over and press it down gently. Repeat with the rest of the tortillas.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook 2 quesadillas at a time until golden on the bottom.
- Flip and cook until golden, the filling is hot and the cheese has melted.
- Keep them warm in the oven while you cook the second batch.
- Cut into wedges and serve with salsa and sour cream.
