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
Directions
-
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, 8 to 10 minutes.
-
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, 5 to 10 minutes.
-
Stir black beans, 1 packet sazon seasoning, and teaspoon garlic salt together in a microwave-safe bowl. Cook in microwave until heated through, about 2 minutes. Add black bean mixture to rice.
-
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, about 5 minutes per side. Cut into wedges.
