Chicken, Bean & Veg Quesadilla with Zesty Guacamole

I've been dreaming of making a 7-layer burrito for the past couple weeks but ended up making this delicious creation. Inspiration works in wonderful, mysterious ways.






This recipe made 3 quesadillas and was generous on the refried beans!

Ingredients:
3 large tortillas
1 Can of reduced salt refried beans
1 chicken breast
1/3 Cup of corn
1/3 Cup of sliced mushrooms
1/2 Small zucchini
1/2 Yellow bell pepper
1 Small yellow onion
Fresh Spinach

Zesty Guacamole Recipe:
3 ripe avocados
1 Lime juiced
1 Clove of garlic minced
4-5 quartered cherry tomatoes
1/4 Red bell pepper diced
Salt and pepper
MASH IT TOGETHER!

Quesadilla directions:
Saute diced onion in olive oil with salt and pepper. Once softened add diced pepper, mushroom, zucchini and corn. Lastly add diced baked chicken (seasoned with chill powder and cumin).
Spread refried bean on tortilla, add filling to half of the tortilla and top with spinach then fold tortilla. Place on a baking sheet with parchment paper and bake for 15 minutes at 350.

Serve with guacamole, salsa and sour cream if you choose (or plain 2% yogurt).

You'll want to siesta after this feast for sure! Comfort food and leftovers… meal planning made easy!
