Recipe: Chicken, black bean and corn quesadillas

I've been craving black beans and corn and wanted to come up with a good recipe incorporating the two of them. At first, I was just thinking of a stir fry, but then I started craving quesadillas. And I wanted a little something more in my quesadillas than just chicken and cheese.

Ingredients:

2 chicken breasts, boiled and chopped
Chopped white onion
1 can black beans, drained
1 can sweet kernel corn, drained
Tomato, chopped

Tortillas
Shredded cheese


Directions:

Heat up your chicken in a skillet with some olive oil

Add onions and tomatoes

Add corn and beans

Saute all things together until hot

On a cookie sheet, lay out tortillas (it is helpful to cover cookie sheet in foil)

Put a thin layer of cheese on each tortilla

Put some stir fry mixture on top of cheese

Add another layer of cheese

Top with another tortilla

Bake at 350 until melted and browned
