Ingredients

4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
1 cup canned refried beans
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons butter or oil
Optional: salsa, sour cream, guacamole for serving

Instructions

Spread 1/4 cup refried beans evenly over one side of each of two tortillas.
Sprinkle 1/4 cup cheese over the beans on each tortilla.
Top each with the remaining tortillas to form two quesadillas.
Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Place one quesadilla in the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula.
Repeat with remaining butter and quesadilla.
Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve warm with desired toppings.

Tips

Use a non-stick skillet for best results.
Add cooked chicken or sautéed vegetables for extra filling.
Leftover quesadillas can be reheated in a skillet or oven.
