4 double chicken breasts, cooked and julienned (cut in thin strips)
Cilantro Lime Glaze
1 red pepper, julienned
1 green pepper, julienned
1 yellow pepper, julienned
1 small red onion, julienned
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 tablespoon Oomph!
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
2 cups grated Jack and Cheddar cheeses mixed together
1/2 cup cooked black beans
12-16 7-inch flour tortilla shells
Cilantro sour cream (see recipe below)
Avocado salsa (see recipe below)

Coat the cut chicken in glaze. Saute the peppers and onions in a hot pan with the garlic. Add the Oomph! and season to taste with the salt and pepper. Cool in refrigerator. Lay out half of the tortillas. Place a small amount of cheese on the tortilla and then layer with a small amount each of the chicken, pepper and onion mix, black beans, and then top with more cheese.
Place the other tortillas on top. (Can be refrigerated until needed.)
In a saute pan, heat either olive oil or a non-stick spray until hot. Place the quesadillas in the pan and cook until golden in color. Turn and repeat to the other side. Take from pan and cut into 6 slices. Garnish with cilantro sour cream and avocado salsa.

Cilantro sour cream: In a bowl, combine 1 bunch chopped cilantro, the zest and juice of 2 limes, 1 teaspoon garlic, 1 cup sour cream, and salt and pepper to taste.
