Cheesy Refried Bean Quesadillas Recipes

REFRIED BEAN QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large frying pan and cook the onion and garlic for 2 mins. Add the cumin and cook for 1 min more. Tip in the beans, paprika and a splash of water. Using a potato masher, break the beans down as they warm through to make a rough purée. Season generously.
• Spread the refried beans onto 4 of the tortillas and scatter over the cheese and coriander. Spoon over the salsa, then top with the remaining tortillas to make 4 sandwiches. Wipe the frying pan with kitchen paper and return to the heat or heat a griddle pan. Cook each sandwich for 1-2 mins on each side until the tortillas are crisp and golden and the cheese is melting. Serve warm, cut into wedges, with extra salsa and soured cream for dipping.

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.
