Bean And Cheese Quesadillas Recipe

Ingredients for Bean And Cheese Quesadillas

• 1 (15-ounce) can refried beans
• Monterey Jack Cheese
• 1/2 cup canned or frozen corn, drained
• 1/2 cup your favorite salsa
• Flour Tortillas
• Sour cream, for garnish (optional)
• 1/4 cup diced avocado (optional)
• Diced Tomato

How to Make Bean And Cheese Quesadillas

1. In a small saucepan, combine the refried beans, corn, and salsa. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until warmed through (about 2-3 minutes).
2. Lightly grease a large skillet with cooking oil or spray and heat over medium heat.
3. Warm each tortilla individually in the skillet for about 30 seconds per side, or until slightly softened. Set aside.
4. Spread an even layer of the bean and salsa mixture onto half of each of two tortillas.
5. Add diced tomatoes and avocado to the bean mixture, if desired.
6. Sprinkle generously with shredded cheese.
7. Top with the remaining tortillas to form quesadillas.
8. Cook each quesadilla in the skillet for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Use a spatula to gently press down on the quesadillas to ensure even cooking and cheese melting.
9. Remove from skillet and let cool slightly.
10. Cut each quesadilla into 8 wedges using a pizza cutter or knife.
11. Serve immediately, garnished with sour cream and additional salsa, if desired.
