Instructions
Preheat and Prep Pan
Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Brush a large rimmed sheet pan generously with olive oil. This is the key step for achieving a crispy bottom on the quesadillas.
Mix the Filling
In a bowl combine shredded chicken, black beans, bell peppers, cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder. Toss together until the filling is evenly seasoned.
Assemble on the Pan
Lay 3 tortillas flat on the prepared sheet pan. Sprinkle half the cheese evenly over the tortillas. Distribute the filling mixture over the cheese layer. Top with remaining cheese and place the remaining 3 tortillas on top pressing down gently.
Weight and Bake
Brush the top tortillas lightly with olive oil. Place a second sheet pan directly on top to weigh down the quesadillas. Bake for 10 minutes then remove the top pan and bake for another 8 minutes until golden and crispy.
Slice and Serve
Remove from oven and let cool for 3 minutes. Slice into wedges using a pizza cutter or sharp knife. Serve with sour cream, salsa, and guacamole on the side.
