A flavorful and customizable one-pan Chicken Quesadilla Casserole that combines tortillas, chicken, cheese, and fresh vegetables.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil or vegetable oil, plus more for frying
  • 18 small flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded chicken
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1-2 jalapeño peppers, seeded and diced (optional)
  • 4 medium tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 (15.5 oz) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 cups shredded Mexican cheese
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • Cilantro, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Spray a 13×9 pan with nonstick spray.
  2. Heat oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Fry the tortillas, one or two at a time, flipping after 15 seconds. Drain on paper towels.
  3. In the same pan, add 2 Tbsp oil and cook the shredded chicken until browned, about 3 minutes. Add onions, jalapeños, tomatoes, black beans, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper, cooking for another 6-7 minutes until softened.
  4. Layer tortillas, chicken mixture, and shredded cheese in the greased pan until all ingredients are used. Bake for 25 minutes or until the cheese is bubbling and golden.
  5. Allow to cool slightly before serving. Top with sour cream and cilantro for garnish if desired.
