Instructions
- Place an oven-proof plate in an oven set to 120C / 100C fan / gas mark½ / 250F.
- Place 2 tortillas on a board. Spread the top half of each tortilla with a thin coating of refried beans, then sprinkle over roughly 20g (¾oz) mozzarella on each half.
- Fold the each tortilla in half and press down lightly, so the top half sticks to the filling.
- Place a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat for 1 minute to heat up.
- Place the 2 filled tortillas into the dry pan and fry until medium brown on the bottom (approximately 45 seconds).
- Flip the 2 filled tortillas (I find a fish slice under the tortilla and a hand on top works best) and cook until medium brown on the other side (approximately 45 seconds).
- Take the plate out of the oven. Transfer the cooked quesadillas to the plate and return the plate to the warm oven.
- Repeat until all your quesadillas are cooked and in the oven. (I recommend preparing the next 2 quesadillas, while the previous 2 are frying to speed the process.)
- Once the last 2 quesadillas are in the oven, cook the whole plate of quesadillas for 2 more minutes in the oven, then remove. Place all your quesadillas on a chopping board and cut each quesadilla in half.
- Serve with Homemade Salsa, Homemade Guacamole, and/or sour cream, and a side salad for a quick lunch or light dinner.
- Alternatively serve with all your Mexican-inspired favourites for a big Mexican-inspired feast!
Notes
- You can use cheddar if you prefer, or a mix of the two!
- Not suitable for freezing.
