To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:

For the Quesadillas:

- 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken
- 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 8 flour tortillas
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

For the Avocado Dip:

- 2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, black beans, shredded cheese, and chopped cilantro. Lay out the tortillas on a flat surface and divide the chicken mixture evenly among them, spreading it out in the center of each tortilla. Fold the tortillas in half to create a half-moon shape.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the quesadillas to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and crispy. Transfer the quesadillas to a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 5-7 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
While the quesadillas are baking, prepare the avocado dip. In a food processor, combine the avocados, sour cream, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Pulse until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Once the quesadillas are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Cut them into wedges and serve with the avocado dip on the side.
