Chicken Quesadillas

[Tim Campbell]

Riffed on a great Serious Eats recipe: Black bean quesadillas. I always double the batch. The chicken is my addition to the recipe. Otherwise pretty much the same.

Grilled some bird. S+P and Memphis Dust.


Into the bowl with wilted spinach, ~2C cooked leftover Rancho Gordo black beans, two cheeses (Swiss and Cheddar-Jack) and two chipotles plus one tsp chipotle sauce.


Burrito sized tortilla. Laid down the filling. Folded.


Flipped.


And plated.


The more I use the Slate, the more I absolutely love it. It hibernated for much of the winter; this is only about the 10th time I've used it. My wife calls it, "The Griddler" but I refer to it is Matthew Slater (sorry...die hard Pats fan. He was one of the best).

Happy weekend, everyone!

That looks good.
I haven’t made quesadillas on my Blackstone yet.
I absolutely love cooking with all the real estate and ease of cleaning my Blackstone offers.
Those Slates look even more awesome with their fit a finish.
Nice job .

Those look delicious.
Never had spinach on quesadillas before (or enchiladas or burritos or tacos for that matter).
I think I need to change that.

Looking good....the Slate too!
I opted out of that thermometer option...was going to get a laser type temp gun...didn't get that either....
It's all a guessing game every time......
Just like when I leave the grocery list on the kitchen counter.....it's then called let's play guess what is on the grocery list...

I definitely should've used thighs. Good call.

Looks great. Nice job on the flip without spilling the contents! I would have been a little lazier and done the chicken on the Griddler also.

I've never tried folding them like a taco. Put one shell on top and bottom with the fillings.
Flip when brown. I used to have a quesadilla maker which browned both sides like a panini press.
I'm gonna try the fold on the griddle tho.
