How to Make Black Bean And Pineapple Quesadilla

  1. Spray a large skillet with non-stick cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat.
  2. Sauté 1/2 medium onion, chopped, and 1/2 cup chopped green chilies in the skillet until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add 1 (15-ounce) can refried black beans, 1 tablespoon taco seasoning, and mix well. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Spread the black bean mixture evenly over one half of each large flour tortilla (about 8-inch).
  5. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of drained pineapple chunks, and 1/2 cup of your favorite Mexican cheese blend.
  6. Fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling.
  7. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Cook quesadillas for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as sour cream, guacamole, diced tomatoes, and salsa.
