CHEESY QUESADILLAS

A fabulously easy Mexican dinner. This recipe is for one quesadilla, cut in thirds. Double or triple the recipe for more. 

INGREDIENTS:

1 flour tortilla, 8"
1/2  cup freshly grated cheddar cheese
1/2 can black or pinto beans, rinsed and drained
1 tbsp chopped red bell pepper
1 chopped cherry tomato
1 tbsp finely chopped red onion or green onion
1 tbsp Chipotle olive oil (optional)
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil or infused Garlic oil
TIP: Serve with salsa, sour cream, avocado pieces or guacamole and extra Chipotle oil drizzle

DIRECTIONS:

Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Place tortilla in pan to warm flipping once. To one half, add cheese, then add remaining fillings. Add the rest of the cheese over the fillings, then fold over empty side to cover the fillings' side. Brush with extra virgin olive oil, then flip with a spatula. Cook until pan side is golden brown about 2 minutes. Brush the top with more olive oil and flip again and cook until golden and crispy. Transfer the quesadilla to a cutting board. Let the cheese set. Cut into pieces. Repeat recipe for additional quesadillas. Serve immediately. Tip: you can use a second pan to cook multiple quesadillas at the same time, or if using a large skillet, cook two in a single pan.
