Ingredients
- flour tortillas 8 to 10-inch size
- refried beans (can use black beans or pinto beans)
- avocado smashed
- salt to taste, Kosher salt
- black pepper to taste, Kosher salt
- Monterey jack cheese freshly grated, or Cheddar cheese
- vegetables onion, mushrooms, and peppers are our favorite mix, cooked
- cilantro chopped, fresh
- avocado oil or olive oil or melted butter
- shredded cheese optional, more, for cooking quesadillas
- For serving: pico de gallo, salsa, sour cream, hot sauce, guacamole, creamy cilantro lime dressing
Instructions
- Place the tortillas on a flat clean surface. Spread a layer of refried beans and smashed avocado on half of the tortilla. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste. Sprinkle a small handful of shredded cheese over the beans and avocado. Add cooked veggies and a little chopped cilantro. Sprinkle with a little exrta cheese, this will help glue the tortilla together. Fold half of the tortilla over the filling and gently press.
- Lightly brush the outside of each tortilla with a little bit of oil or melted butter.
- Heat a non-stick pan, cast iron pan, or griddle over medium-low heat. Cook one side of the quesadilla for 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown. Use a spatula to remove the quesadilla from the pan. Sprinkle 2 to 3 tablespoons of shredded cheese in the hot pan. Place the uncooked side of the tortilla directly onto the cheese and cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes or until the quesadilla is golden brown with a cheesy crust.
- Remove from the heat and let cool for 2 minutes. Cut into triangles, if desired. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- You can add cooked chicken, steak, shrimp, or carnitas to the quesadillas, if desired. This is more of a guide so use whatever ratios you need to! You can make one or 12 quesadillas:)
