    Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 25 mins Ready Time: 45 mins

  • heat 2 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir chicken, 1 packet sazon seasoning, and 1 teaspoon garlic salt, shredding chicken as it cooks until no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • bring rice and water to a boil in a saucepan. reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • stir black beans, 1 packet sazon seasoning, and teaspoon garlic salt together in a microwave-safe bowl. cook in microwave until heated through, about 2 minutes. add black bean mixture to rice.
  • place each tortilla on a work surface; layer half of each tortilla with bean-rice mixture, mexican cheese, shredded chicken, and more mexican cheese. fold each tortilla in half. spread a thin layer of softened butter atop each quesadilla.
  • heat a large skillet over medium heat; cook each quesadilla, butter-side down, until cheese is melted and outside is crisp and brown, about 5 minutes per side. cut into wedges.
