Quesadillas are far from attractive. So you will have to excuse how this recipe looks.
While the look of a meal can sometimes hinder how it tastes, this Chicken Quesadilla recipe is full of flavour and is so easy to make – it’s perfect for weeknights.
With a few simple ingredients, a hot plate (or fry pan) you have an easy, tasty and healthy dinner.
Serves 2 (Makes 4 small quesadillas)
1/2 Tin Refried Beans
2 Tbs of Sriracha Sauce (optional)
1 1/2 C Shredded Chicken (we used a ready to eat one from the supermarket)
1/2 C Grated Cheese, or to taste
8 Small Tortillas
Tomato Salsa
2 C Lettuce
Salt and Pepper
This is one of the easiest meals you can make – perfect for a weeknight when even a “30 minute meal” won’t cut it, and you want something a little different!

I’m an absolute sucker for homemade nachos. I could eat nachos all day, everyday. I especially like chicken nachos. And just nachos in general. >_>
I’ve never actually tried Quesadillas before – but these look delicious and they’re definitely something I’d try to make at home! YUM oxoxo
Nachos are amazing! I can’t believe you’ve never had a quesadilla! You need to remedy that asap xx haha – come over for dinner one night? x
UM YES PLEASE!!! oxoxo
Hahaha I know right, I’m so bad when it comes to food – I always stick to the same things! oxoxo
I make quesadillas when we need something quick. I don’t usually use beans, but avocados are always welcome 🙂
Yum! Yes avocados are one of my favourite things when cooking Mexican! The beans have a similar consistency to Avocados when mashed. I can’t believe I didn’t grab a avo to have with this dish – chicken and avocado go together so well!
This looks yumm! I love messy eating. I’m a vegetarian so thinking of its veg version now. haha
Oh vege quesadillas are so easy Nishu! Just opt out the chicken and have just beans or instead of chicken you could have Roasted Kumara / Kidney Beans / Halloumi (omg) – endless opportunities!
Bingo Kumara. I have Kumara. I love Kumara. Endless vege options sounds heavenly to me @lauralaurablog:disqus
Yum! These look delicious Laura. I have a fair bit of roast beef left over at the moment so might try adapting your recipe to use that up.
Yum, quesadillas are the best! I need to find some gluten free tortillas (do they exist?) and make these, it’s been too long!
Omg these sound delicious. I love quesadillas, especially when they feature jalapeno relish and fresh tomato. Yummmm
Yum. Any flavour as long as it’s served with a healthy side of guacamole is good with me. I loooooove guac.
