  • 4 wheat tortillas, 25 cm in diameter.
  • 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast (250 g)
  • 1 can (430 g) of canned baked tomatoes
  • 2 tsp chili powder

Preparation:

    Place the chicken breast in the sauce and simmer over low heat, turning once, until cooked through, 8-9 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate, shred it, and return it to the sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Place a tortilla in front of you and sprinkle evenly with 1/2 cup of Oaxaca cheese. Add a quarter of the shredded chicken and tomato sauce and a quarter of the beans. Fold the tortillas in half, enclosing the filling. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and ingredients.
  3. Melt 1/2 tablespoon (30 grams) butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook the quesadillas for about 3 minutes per side, turning once halfway through, until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Remove to a large cutting board and repeat with the remaining quesadillas.
  4. Cut into triangles and serve with guacamole, salsa, green onions and sour cream.
