INGREDIENTS
Main Ingredients
- 🧈 2 tablespoons butter
- 🍗 6 chicken breast tenders
- 1 (.18 ounce) packet sazon seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 cup instant rice
- 💧 1 cup water
- 1 (14 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 (.18 ounce) packet sazon seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 8 extra-large flour tortillas
- 🧀 1 (16 ounce) package shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 🧈 1 tablespoon softened butter, or as needed
STEPS
Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir chicken, 1 packet sazon seasoning, and 1 teaspoon garlic salt, shredding chicken as it cooks until no longer pink in the center and juices run clear.
Bring rice and water to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed.
Stir black beans, 1 packet sazon seasoning, and 1 teaspoon garlic salt together in a microwave-safe bowl. Cook in microwave until heated through.
Place each tortilla on a work surface; layer half of each tortilla with bean-rice mixture, Mexican cheese, shredded chicken, and more Mexican cheese. Fold each tortilla in half. Spread a thin layer of softened butter atop each quesadilla.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat; cook each quesadilla, butter-side down, until cheese is melted and outside is crisp and brown. Cut into wedges.
