 To make these it's super simple.  First, add seasonings to chicken and cook in a skillet (you may need to add a few tablespoons of water to keep it from sticking but try to stay away from the olive oil if you're counting calories).  Then, shred or chop up your chicken and set aside.  Now you are ready to sauté your pepper stir-fry mix in a large skillet until soft and all moisture has been absorbed.  Next, drain and rinse your black beans.  Lastly, you are ready to assemble and cook your quesadillas.  We have a George Foreman Quesadilla Maker (we are fancy like that) but you can do these in a skillet as well.  If you are cooking in a skillet just be sure to spray your skillet with non-stick spray and to cook evenly on both sides (about 3 minutes per side on medium-high heat).  Garnish with lettuce, avocado, salsa, or sour cream.
