Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced

1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese (such as cheddar and Monterey jack)

1/2 cup black beans, drained and rinsed

1/2 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)

1/4 cup red bell pepper, finely diced

1/4 cup green onion, chopped

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

6 large flour tortillas

1/4 cup sour cream (for serving)

1/4 cup salsa (for serving)

Olive oil or cooking spray (for frying)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the shredded chicken, Mexican blend cheese, black beans, corn, diced red bell pepper, chopped green onion, and cilantro (if using). Sprinkle in the chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder. Season generously with salt and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

    Assemble the Rollups: On a clean, flat surface, place one tortilla. Spoon about 1/3 cup of the filling mixture onto one edge of the tortilla, spreading it into a line. Carefully roll the tortilla tightly from the filled side towards the opposite edge, ensuring the filling is secure inside. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.

      Prepare to Cook: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil or spray the skillet with cooking spray. Allow the pan to become hot before placing the rollups seam-side down in the skillet.

        Cook the Rollups: Cook the rollups for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they become golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the skillet; if necessary, cook the rollups in batches to ensure even cooking.

          Serve: Once the rollups are cooked to perfection, remove them from the skillet and let them rest for a minute. Slice the rollups into pinwheels or halves for serving. Pair with a side of sour cream and salsa for dipping.

            Enjoy: Delight in these crispy Tex-Mex Chicken Quesadilla Rollups as a savory appetizer or a satisfying meal. Dive in and relish the harmonious flavors!
