BBQ Chicken Quesadilla

This is a good way to use leftover chicken!

1.5 cups chopped cooked chicken ($1.50)
1 15oz. can black beans, drained ($0.95)
1/4 red onion ($0.19) didn't use this
1 jalapeño ($0.12) didn't use this
1/2 cup fresh cilantro ($0.23) didn't use this
2 cups shredded cheddar ($1.99)
1 tsp chili powder ($0.10)
1/2 tsp smoked paprika ($0.05)
1/4 tsp salt ($0.02) didn't use this
1/2 cup BBQ Sauce ($0.53) would use less of this
10 7-inch flour tortillas ($1.58) also works well as taco filling

Add the chopped chicken and drained black beans to a large bowl. Finely dice the red onion. Remove the seeds from the jalapeño, then finely dice. Pull the cilantro leaves from their stems and roughly chop. Add the onion, jalapeño, cilantro, shredded cheddar, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and BBQ sauce to the bowl with the chicken and beans. Stir until everything is evenly combined.
Place about 1/3 cup of the BBQ chicken mixture on each tortilla and spread it evenly over one half of the surface. Fold the tortilla closed. Cook the filled and folded tortillas in a dry skillet over medium-low heat, until the outside is brown and crispy, the filling has heated through, and the cheese has melted. Cut each quesadilla in half and serve.
