Cowboy Quesadillas

from ourbestbites.com

1/2 C white rice
1/3 C black beans
1 cup diced cooked chicken
1/3 C fresh frozen corn kernels (no need to thaw)
2/3 C diced tomato
3 Tbs sliced green onion
1 1/2 C shredded cheese (any type or combo you like)
1/4 C bbq sauce
6 small tortillas (fajita size, about 6″)

Combine rice, beans, chicken, corn, tomato, green onion and shredded cheese. Add bbq sauce and stir to combine. Place about 1/3 C of mixture on half of each tortilla and fold over to close.

Heat a skillet to medium heat on the stove top. When hot, spray lightly with cooking spray, or drizzle with canola or olive oil. Place quesadillas in pan and cook for 2-4 minutes or until golden brown and slightly crisp. Flip and repeat on opposite side. Cool for a few minutes and then serve with BBQ-Ranch dipping sauce.

I have a small panini griddle. I put the mixture on half the tortilla, fold it over, then put it in the panini maker until the tortilla is browned. Super easy!

For the BBQ-Ranch dipping sauce you mix equal parts of your favorite bbq sauce and ranch dressing. That was fine. We also like dipping these in ranch or bbq sauce, depending on which family member you're talking to! This is a healthy, tasty meal our entire family enjoys!
