Directions
Heat oven to 375℉ (190℃). Cut chicken into ½-inch slices.
In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, sauté peppers, onions and chili powder in hot oil until vegetables are slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Place 4 tortillas on a large baking sheet. Evenly spread beans over tortillas. Top with pepper mixture, chicken and cheese. Top each with remaining tortillas and press down lightly.
Bake until heated through and cheese is melted, about 15 minutes. Cut each quesadilla into quarters and serve with salsa, sour cream and cilantro.
