Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 large wheat flour tortilla
  • 1 1/2 ounces shredded cheddar jack, or something similar
  • 1/2 cup spiced zucchini recipe here
  • 1/3 cup cooked pinto beans drained and rinsed if using canned
  • Salsa/Hot sauce for serving
  • olive oil for brushing

Instructions

  1. Preheat a griddle or large, flat skillet over low heat- the pan should be large enough to fit the tortilla. Brush one side of a tortilla with olive oil and place it oil-side down in the skillet. On half of the tortilla, sprinkle with 1/2 of the cheese, followed by the spiced zucchini, pinto beans, and finish with another layer of cheese.
  2. Fold the tortilla in half, covering the mixture.
  3. Cook the quesadilla over low heat, flipping once, about 4 to 5 minutes. The tortilla should be browning and crisp and the cheese should be melting. Cut into wedges to serve.

Notes

  • Tips & Tricks: These quesadillas are also delicious is you slightly mash the beans. I like to pan fry beans with a bit of garlic and oil then mash before using. 
  • Stock up: get the pantry ingredients you will need: pinto beans, tortillas, zucchini
