1. Combine the chicken, tomatoes, black beans, corn, cilantro, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and oregano. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Place the tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle one half with about 1.5 tbsp of cheese. Spread with about 1/2 cup of the chicken filling. Top with another 1.5 tbsp of cheese. Fold the tortilla over and cook on one side until cheese is melting and the tortilla begins to brown. Flip over and cook on the other side for 2-3 minites more until tortilla browns and cheese it fully melted. Repeat with remaining quesadillas.
3. You can also make full-size quesadillas instead of folding the tortillas in half. Just make sure to note that the serving size would be half a larger quesadilla.

1. Pick Your Tortilla Wisely. When picking out tortillas, consider look for ones that are as authentic as possible. “In my opinion, the best quesadillas are the traditional ones made with corn flour and handmade,” says McCall.
2. Choose the Right Cheese. A quesadilla, by definition, needs to have cheese (and vegans, worry not, you can use a vegan variety of cheese). “‘Quesadilla’ comes from the word queso, [which is] Spanish for cheese.
3. Load Up on the Veggies. It’s time to take your quesadilla to the next level. “Vegetables in quesadillas are essential in Mexico. They bring so much flavor and also contribute to the nutrient density of a quesadilla,” says McCall.
4. Pump Up the Protein. While you’re already getting some protein from the cheese, you can add a healthy source like beans or a lean animal protein source such as chicken breast.
5. Don’t Forget to Serve a Nutritious Side. To get more veggies in your meal, think about an additional veggie side dish. Arévalo Valencia recommends a salad or steamed broccoli or spinach for your quesadilla’s sidekick.
