Tex Mex Quesadilla

 This is by far the best quesadilla I've eaten.  What's better is that I just threw the ingredients together one night.  Who would have thought that it would turn out so delicious.  I think it's the combination of textures with the chicken and the beans.

Cook the chicken on the stove

 With two forks, shred the chicken

Add scallion, garlic, salt and pepper

I was never much of a Rotel fan until now

Add the entire can to the chicken once cooked

In a separate bowl, mash beans up with a fork

Add garlic powder and cumin. You might have to add a dab or two of water to make the beans spreadable.

Lightly oil a clean skillet

Start layering your toritlla

With a spoon, spread a layer of bean mixture on the bottom tortilla

Add cheese.  I used pepper jack here

and then the chicken/rotel mixture

More cheese (mozzarella here)

and top it with another tortilla.

cook until both sides are nice and brown

 Throw in some sour cream and a glass of ice tea and you've got yourself a meal!
