Quesadillas have it all: chicken, beans, cheese and these ones even have sweet potatoes.  While tortillas are usually made from ground wheat flour, try opting for a corn-based tortilla.  Take it a step further and buy a sprouted corn tortilla; sprouting makes the corn easier to digest and increases the protein content.
