Ingredients
- 2-3 Tbsp. oil coconut or avocado
- 8 corn tortillas
- 1 cup refried beans black or pinto
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheese Cheddar or Monterrey Jack
- 1 cup shredded chicken or taco meat optional
- 1 Tbsp. Sriracha sauce optional
- ¼ cup finely chopped cilantro optional
- salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Add 1 tablespoon oil to a large stainless steel or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Move the skillet around so it completely coats the bottom.
- Once the oil is hot, add 3-4 tortillas in a single layer. Cook tortillas for 1 minute, or until the edges start to crisp up. Flip tortillas over using tongs or a spatula. Spread 2 tablespoons refried beans on one half of each of the tortillas and sprinkle 3 tablespoons shredded cheese on the other half of the tortilla. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper all over each one.
- Optional: add 3 tablespoons chicken to each tortilla on the side with the beans, drizzle with Sriracha, and sprinkle with cilantro.
- Once cheese has melted, fold each tortilla over and smash down with the back of a spatula until it almost oozes out. Cut each quesadilla in half, width-wise. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling ingredients.
- Serve with additional chopped cilantro, salsa, and/or guacamole. Enjoy!

Notes
- Prep-Ahead Instructions:
- You can prepare the toppings by cooking the chicken (if using), shredding the cheese, and making the beans.
- Storage Directions:
- If you have leftover quesadillas, place them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 to 5 days. You can also freeze quesadillas. For the best results, flash freeze them in a single layer first. Then, transfer them to a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 3 to 4 months. To warm them back up, heat them in a skillet over medium heat.
- Nutritional information is calculated for one quesadilla quarter without shredded chicken or taco meat.
