Quesadillas are a favorite of mine. You can fix them many different ways with meat or cheese only. Here’s a delicious recipe for gluten-free organic chicken quesadillas. They are so delicious! You could even switch the chicken for steak or leave the meat out altogether. I love these almost as much as my steak fajita recipe!
Prep: 10 minutes | Cook: 45 minutes | Total: 55 minutes | Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 2 Large Organic Chicken Breasts
- 4 Large Food For Life Gluten-Free Brown Rice Tortillas

Instructions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Turn large burner on medium heat. Add butter to large pan. Cook chicken in butter, rotating sides until slightly golden and cooked through (typically taking at least 20 minutes). Set aside to cool.
Chop onion into small pieces.
In same pan chicken was cooked in (and on medium heat), sauté frozen tri-colored peppers, white onion, and garlic in butter until cooked through (or for about 10 minutes).
Cut chicken into small pieces. Add chicken, onion powder, garlic powder, and cayenne red pepper to mixture. Stir and continue to blend flavors together for about 5 minutes.
While mixture is cooking, place black beans in small pan on medium heat until cooked through.
Place 2 large tortillas on baking sheet or aluminum foil. Add first layer of black beans. Add second layer of chicken and pepper mixture. Top it off with shredded or thinly sliced white cheddar cheese. Place top tortilla on both and gently press down. Bake in oven for 10 minutes.

I haven’t tried this brand of GF tortillas. I may need to. The Tillamook vintage white cheddar however is an absolute family fave.
these look delicious. I’ve never tried gf tortillas although I’ve wanted to try the recipe for cauliflower tortillas. I’m sure this recipe could work with those though too

I love homemade quesadillas, and there are so many “hacks” for making them healthier. It’s really a no-brainer meal.
I love chicken as a fun alternative every once in a while to beef with Mexican food. Your arrangement of the peppers and onions on top have me sold on trying this recipe!
I love this recipe, but I have two problems…1) I don’t believe this will feed 8 of us
2) where do I get Tillamook Vintage White Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese
