Bean and Cheese Quesadillas

This is another meal I kind of threw together and this also became a big hit. These are fairly easy to make and don't take long to cook. I am not putting any precise amounts to the ingredients because it all depends on how many you wish to make.




BEAN AND CHEESE QUESADILLAS

8" Flour tortillas
1 Can of fat free refried beans - heated in a pan until soft and spreadable. Add a couple of tablespoons of water if needed
Shredded cheese
Salsa - Jarred or homemade
Cooking Spray
Sour cream and salsa for dipping

For each quesadilla:

Heat up a skillet sprayed with cooking spray. When the pan is hot sprinkle about a tablespoon or so of shredded cheese in the bottom of the skillet and then place 1 flour tortilla over the cheese in the pan. spread a layer of refried beans on the tortilla, sprinkle evenly with cheese and then add spoonfulls of salsa here and there over the cheese. Don't make it a solid layer of salsa. Place another tortilla on top and press it down to flatten it all out. Spray top tortilla with cooking spray. Cook in the pan until the bottom tortillas looks lightly brown and crispy. Carefully remove to a plate and re-spray the pan with cooking spray and sprinkle with more cheese. Flip the quesadilla over and place back in the pan so that the top of the quesadilla is now on the bottom.

When the bottom is light brown and crispy remove to a cutting board. Cut it like you would a pizza and serve with salsa and sour cream or whatever sipping sauce you wish. Enjoy!!!
