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!
