Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup refried beans (canned or homemade)
- 1 cup shredded Oaxaca or mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Optional: salsa, sour cream, or guacamole for serving
Instructions
- Spread 1/4 cup of refried beans evenly over one half of each tortilla.
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded cheese over the beans on each tortilla.
- Fold the tortillas in half to cover the filling.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Place two folded tortillas in the skillet and cook until golden brown on the bottom, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip carefully and cook the other side until golden and cheese is melted, about 2 minutes more.
- Repeat with remaining oil and tortillas.
- Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve immediately with salsa, sour cream, or guacamole if desired.
Tips
- For a crispier texture, use a cast-iron skillet.
- You can add cooked chicken, chorizo, or sautéed vegetables for extra flavor.
- Store leftover quesadillas in the refrigerator and reheat in a skillet or oven.
