Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1 envelope taco seasoning
  • 1 cup refried beans
  • 6 flour tortillas (7 inches)
  • 1 jar (2 ounces) diced pimientos, drained
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro
  • 1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 to 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil

Preparation

Step 1

In a saucepan, bring the chicken, water and taco seasoning to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Stir in the beans.
Spoon 1/3 cup mixture over half of each tortilla; top with pimientos, onions, cilantro and cheese. Fold over. In a skillet over medium heat, cook quesadillas in 1 Tbsp. oil for 1-2 minutes on each side or until cheese is melted, using additional oil as needed. Cut into wedges.
