Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 1 medium bell pepper, diced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced bell pepper and onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the shredded chicken, black beans, cumin, chili powder, and salt. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the ingredients are heated through. Remove from heat.
Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean surface. Spoon a portion of the chicken and vegetable mixture onto one half of each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the filling on each tortilla.
Fold each tortilla over to create a half-moon shape, pressing down gently to seal the edges.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Cook the folded tortillas in batches, about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Press down with a spatula to ensure even cooking.
Transfer the cooked turnovers to a cutting board and allow them to cool slightly before slicing in half or serving whole.
Serve the Turnover Tortillas with your favorite dips like salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
