BBQ chicken and black bean and corn salsa are the perfect flavor combination for a delicious and easy cowboy quesadilla. My favorite part of this chicken quesadilla is how fast it comes together.

How to make Cowboy Quesadilla
Start by heating a skillet over medium heat. Add a flour tortilla, shredded pepper jack cheese, BBQ chicken, and black bean and corn salsa. Once cheese starts to melt and the bottom tortilla is golden brown and crispy, add the top tortilla and carefully flip. When both sides of the quesadilla are golden brown and the cheese has melted, carefully remove from skillet and cut into triangles with a pizza cutter.
