DESCRIPTION

Serve the quesadillas with your favorite dips and toppings, like sour cream, guacamole, salsa, green onions, and cilantro.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 (6-in.) soft corn tortillas
  • 1/3 cup cooked shredded chicken, pork, or beef
  • 1/3 cup shredded cheese
  • 2 Tbsp. black beans (or a chopped veggie)
  • 2 tsp. cooking oil

Instructions

  1. Put one corn tortilla on a plate and top it with half of the cheese. Top that with meat, then the beans, then the other half of the cheese. Top with other tortilla.
  2. Heat the oil in a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat. Spread the oil around and then slide the quesadilla from the plate into the skillet. Brush any excess oil onto the top tortilla.
  3. Cook until the bottom tortilla is crisp and brown underneath, 2-3 minutes. Flip (it is best to use a spatula to slide the quesadilla onto a plate, invert another plate over top, flip the plates over, then slide the quesadilla back into skillet).
  4. Cook until brown and crisp on the bottom and the cheese is melted 2-3 minutes more, adjusting the temperature lower if the tortilla is browning too much before the cheese melts.
