Refried Black Beans Quesadillas Recipes

REFRIED BEAN AND CHEESE QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• In a small pot, warm the refried beans, over medium-low heat.
• It is best to build the quesadilla in the pan in which it is going to be cooked in. That way there is less chance of everything falling apart before you get it to the pan. Set a cast iron frying pan, over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter; melt and spread around the pan.**
• Lay a tortilla on a plate or flat surface. Spoon some of the warmed refried beans onto it and smooth out all over the tortilla as you were icing a cake. Leave about ½-inch of space around the outer edge and place it in the preheated pan.
• Quickly, add the cheese and optional peppers.
• Top with another bean-covered tortilla. This time turn the beans downward so that it sandwiches the other ingredients underneath.
• Let the quesadilla cook for about 1 to 1 ½ minutes before flipping***.
• Flip and allow the other side to crisp for 1 to 1 ½ minutes.
• Carefully slide onto a plate. We always use a pizza cutter to slice it up as you would a pizza. Garnish with any toppings you choose.

REFRIED BEAN QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit so you can keep your quesadillas warm while you are preparing your batches.
• To assemble quesadillas, spread half of the mozzarella cheese and half of the cheddar cheese on one half of each tortilla.
• Spread refried beans on top of cheese (about 1/3 cup of refried beans for each tortilla). If you move some of the cheese while spread out the refried beans, no biggie.
• Distribute corn on top of refried beans. Top refried beans with crumbled feta, remaining half of mozzarella cheese, remaining half of cheddar cheese and corn chips. Fold over each tortilla so it's a half-moon shape.
• To cook quesadillas, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil or vegetable oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat. Gently swirl the oil around the pan so you get good coverage.Note: Cook the quesadillas in batches, two quesadillas at a time, adding more oil to the pan between batches as necessary.
• Place two quesadillas in the pan. Cook quesadillas for about 2 to 3 minutes on one side.
• Carefully flip quesadillas to the other side and continue to cook for another 2 to 3 minutes or until the outside is crispy and golden, the inside is heated through, and the cheese is melted (carefully watch to ensure they don't burn). Transfer cooked quesadillas to a sheet pan and place into a preheated oven to keep warm while you are continuing to cook the remaining quesadillas.
• Repeat process with remaining quesadillas.
• Once all batches are done, cut each tortilla in half so you have 12 pieces in total. Serve as is or with your favourite dipping sauces (salsa, sour cream and guacamole are all yummy). Enjoy!Note: Properly store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and enjoy within 3 to 4 days. Reheat before serving.
