Layered Quesadillas – Kid Friendly Things To Do .com

Oh yum! This layered cheesy, Quesadilla Dinner is a delicious Mexican Dinner! It’s simple, and bountiful. You can feed a crowd, or just some growing teenage boys! Some of the best meals come from my avoidance of the grocery store! That’s when I throw everything in. I go ALL IN! 😉 Here’s what I came up with last week.
You’ll Need:
- 3 Chicken Breasts – cooked and cubed
- 1 can of black beans – rinsed and drained
- 1 can of sweet corn – drained
- 1 package of taco seasoning
- 2/3 cups of water
- Zatarain’s Spanish Rice – Cooked according to package directions (You’ll need a can of diced tomatoes for the rice recipe)
- 9 flour tortillas – burrito size
- 8 oz. of shredded cheese – Monterey Jack Blend
Now: Serves 12
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees
- In a medium sauce pan over medium/high heat – combine the cooked chicken, beans, corn, seasoning, and water
- Stir occasionally until the water has cooked down, about 5 minutes
- Grease a baking sheet with cooking spray
- Place 3 flour tortillas down separately
- Place heaping spoonfuls of rice onto each tortilla – spread the rice out
- Sprinkle cheese generously over the rice
- Add another flour tortilla over the rice and cheese
- Add a heaping spoonful of the chicken and beans mixture – Spread that around
- Add a flour tortilla to the top of the chicken and bean mixture
- Place another heaping spoonful of Spanish Rice onto those tortillas
- Sprinkle generously with cheese
- Pop into the oven for about 10 minutes, or until the middle is warm, and the cheese is nicely melted
- Serving Suggestion: Serve with sour cream, salsa, and taco toppings – like olives, tomatoes, and lettuce!
