Chicken and Vegetable Quesadillas

Chicken and Vegetable Quesadillas
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste
  • 1/2 yellow squash, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 3/4 cup diced rotisserie chicken meat
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch squares
  • salt to taste
  • olive oil cooking spray
  • 4 whole wheat tortillas
  • sharp Cheddar cheese (optional)
  • 1/2 cup rinsed and drained canned black beans
  • 1/2 avocado, mashed
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro


  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute garlic in hot oil until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add yellow squash; cook and stir until slightly softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir chicken and bell pepper into squash mixture; cook and stir until heated through, about 2 minutes more. Season chicken mixture with salt and transfer to a bowl.
  2. Spray one tortilla with olive oil cooking spray and place in the hot skillet. Place 1 slice Cheddar cheese on the tortilla and spread 1/2 the chicken-vegetable mixture on top. Spoon 1/2 the black beans over chicken-vegetable mixture and 1/2 the avocado over the black beans. Sprinkle 1/2 the cilantro over the avocado. Spray another tortilla with cooking spray and place on top. Continue to cook until bottom tortilla is crispy, 2 to 3 minutes; gently flip quesadilla over and cook until cheese is melted and bottom tortilla is crispy, about 4 minutes more. Repeat with remaining ingredients to make second quesadilla.
