Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

1/2 cup black beans, drained and rinsed

1/2 cup corn (canned or frozen)

1/4 cup red bell pepper, finely chopped

1/4 cup green onions, sliced

1 tablespoon taco seasoning

4 large flour tortillas

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

1 cup salsa, for serving

Sour cream, for serving

Olive oil or cooking spray, for frying

Instructions
 

Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, sharp cheddar, and Monterey Jack cheeses, black beans, corn, finely chopped red bell pepper, sliced green onions, taco seasoning, and chopped cilantro (if using). Stir together until all ingredients are well blended and coated with the seasoning.

    Assemble the Quesadilla Rollups: Take one flour tortilla and lay it flat on a clean, dry surface. Spoon an even amount of the chicken and cheese mixture along one edge of the tortilla, leaving about 2 inches from the edge. Carefully roll the tortilla away from you, securing the filling tightly inside. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.

      Cook the Rollups: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil or spray the skillet lightly with cooking spray. Once hot, place 2-3 rollups seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip the rollups and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the opposite side until golden. Continue this process until all rollups are cooked and crispy.

        Slice and Serve: Once cooked, remove the rollups from the skillet and allow them to rest for about a minute. Carefully slice each rollup into bite-sized pieces. Arrange the slices on a serving platter and serve with salsa and sour cream on the side for dipping.

          Enjoy Your Meal: These crispy, cheesy, and flavorful Tex-Mex Chicken Quesadilla Rollups make for an excellent appetizer for parties, a satisfying lunch, or a quick and tasty weeknight dinner. Enjoy every delicious bite!
