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.
