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

1

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.

2

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.

3

Stir black beans, 1 packet sazon seasoning, and 1 teaspoon garlic salt together in a microwave-safe bowl. Cook in microwave until heated through.

4

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.

5

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.
