Chicken, Corn & Black Bean Quesadillas

We have a bit of an obession with quesdillas. So much so, that I actually bought a quesadilla maker. Don't judge me, it's amazing! I found this lovely recipe on pinterest and it's super healthy and super delicious. I served it with some avocado and tortilla chips and it was ah-mazing! ;)




Ingredients:
2 tablespoon canola oil, divided
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 cups corn kernels
1 large chicken breast, cooked and shredded or cubed
1/3 cup chicken  broth
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1 can black beans
2 ounces cream cheese
2 cups Mexican blend cheese
Tortillas (I used flour but next time I think I will use corn)

Directions:
1. Heat 1 tablespoon of the canola oil in a large skillet, stir in the garlic and corn and cook until the garlic is fragrant.
2. Add the chicken, broth, cumin, chili powder, oregano, and black beans and bring to a light boil.
3. Simmer for 5-10 minutes to let the flavors meld.
4. Remove pan from the heat and stir in the cream cheese.
5. At this time, I just put the chicken mixture and cheese on a tortilla and put it in the quesadilla maker -- if you don't have one then heat 1 tablespoon canola oil in a saucepan over medium heat, place tortilla onto the hot pan, and layer handfuls of cheese and chicken mixture on one half of the tortilla. Fold in half and flip when necessary ;)
