Irresistibly Cheesy Bean Quesadillas
Equipment
- 1 Large Skillet
- 1 Spatula
- 1 Cheese Grater
- 1 Medium Bowl
Ingredients
- 4 cups Homemade refried beans or canned is fine too (check out my refried bean recipe!)
- 4 cups fresh Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 4 Large burrito size flour tortillas
- 1 can cooking oil spray
- sour cream ( optional )
- salsa ( optional )
Instructions
- Prepare the skillet:Start by spraying a skillet with cooking spray and heating it over medium heat. This will prevent the quesadilla from sticking and ensure a crispy exterior.
- Assemble the quesadilla:Place one large tortilla onto the skillet, making sure it covers the entire surface. Spread a generous layer of your homemade refried beans on one half of the tortilla, leaving some space around the edges. The amount of beans can vary according to your preference.
- Add the cheese:Next, sprinkle a generous amount of mozzarella shredded cheese over the beans. The combination of melted cheese and creamy beans is what makes this quesadilla truly irresistible.
- Fold and toast:Carefully fold the empty half of the tortilla over the bean and cheese mixture, creating a half-moon shape. Press down gently to ensure everything sticks together.Toast the quesadilla on medium heat for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until it turns golden brown and crispy. This will give you that perfect blend of textures – crunchy on the outside, and warm and gooey on the inside.
- Serve with your favorite accompaniments:Once the quesadilla is cooked to perfection, remove it from the skillet and transfer it to a cutting board. Allow it to rest for a minute before slicing it into wedges or strips.Serve your Bean and Cheese Quesadilla with your favorite chips and dip or sour cream and salsa. The combination of flavors will take your quesadilla experience to new heights!
