Chicken Black Bean Quesadillas

Last Tuesday Allan grilled an entire bag of chicken breasts so that we would have leftovers for lunches and quick suppers during the week. On Wednesday night I threw this little diddy together at the drop of a hat. It was super easy and quick and tasted amazing! Allan said that it now comes in as his #2 favorite Clean Eating meal, right behind pizza.

BTW, I did hear from my mother-in-law last week after she received her Clean-Eating books and she seemed really excited to have a set of her own books and be able to have some insight into eating gluten- , lactose-, and fructose-free. Thanks, Tosca!
