Ingredients

Chicken, Cheese and Bean Quesadillas (make 20 Triangles)
1 Chicken Breast (about 1/2 cup cooked)
3/4 cup Pinto Beans
1 cup Monterrey Jack Cheese, shredded
4 Whole Wheat or Spelt Tortillas

Preparation

1. Place the chicken breast in a steamer pot over boiling water and steam for 8 minutes or until it’s cooked through.

2. Cut the chicken into several pieces and place it with the beans in a food processor. Pulse until well combined and little pieces remain.

3. Spread 3 Tbsp of the chicken mixture on half of a tortilla. Cover with 1/4 cup shredded cheese.

4. Fold the tortilla in half.

5. Place the tortilla in a saute pan over low to medium heat (there’s no need to add oil, butter or spray). Cook for 2-3 minutes, flip on the other side and continue to cook another 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is melted.

6. Cool for several minutes and then cut into 5 triangles.

7. Serve.

* The cheese can remain quite hot even after you cut the tortillas into triangles, so make sure it’s cool before serving to your toddler.
