How to Make Bean And Cheese Quesadilla
- Divide all ingredients into four equal portions.
- Spread 1/4 of the refried beans evenly over one half of a large flour tortilla.
- Sprinkle 1/4 of the shredded cheese over the beans.
- Fold the tortilla in half to enclose the filling.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Place the assembled quesadilla in the skillet.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. (For a lower-fat version, microwave quesadillas between two paper towels for 1-2 minutes, or until heated through).
- Remove from skillet and let cool for 1-2 minutes.
- Cut into 8 wedges using kitchen shears or a knife.
- Repeat steps 6-9 for the remaining three quesadillas.
- Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ranch dressing, salsa, or sour cream.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
