If your searching for a simple yet delicious dinner, look no further! These quesadillas are the best fast food you'll ever make!
Ingredients
- 1 15 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed can substitute pinto or red kidney beans
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar Jack cheese (or cheese of choice)
- 2- 8 to 10 inch tortillas
- 1/2 T butter or oil
- salsa and/or guacamole for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your skillet over medium heat.
- Place the black beans between a few layers of paper towels and press down, flattening the beans with your hands. Alternatively, place the beans in a food processor and blend into a paste.
- Spread beans across one tortilla in an even layer (you may have a few extra beans).
- Top the beans with the shredded cheese, spreading out evenly. Cover cheese with remaining tortilla.
- Place butter or oil in skillet and swirl to coat.
