Stuffed Black Bean Quesadillas
- Ready In:
- 25mins
- Ingredients:
- 10
- Yields:
-
4 quesadillas
ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tomatoes, diced
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon crushed garlic
- 1⁄2 cup salsa
- 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can refried black beans
- 6 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, grated
- 4 flour tortillas (8-10 inches round)
directions
- Heat up the oil in a frying pan and saute the onions, garlic and spices for about 10 minutes over medium-low heat or until they are soft and translucent.
- Add the tomatoes and salsa and cook for another 5 minutes.
- Transfer the onion mixture to a seperate bowl and rinse out the pan.
- Spread a thin layer of the beans on top of the entire tortilla (having the beans on both sides of the quesadilla keeps it from falling apart).
- Spoon 1/4 of the onion mixture over just half of each tortilla and top with 2 oz of cheese. Fold the tortilla in half so that it forms a half circle. Repeat with the other 3 tortillas.
- Heat up more oil in the pan and fry the quesadillas over medium-low heat, until both sides are browned and the cheese is melted.
- Top with your favorite mexican condiments (I'm a huge avocado fan!).

Beautiful! This is so amazingly great, the black refried beans are the top of the barrel here. This addition really sets this apart from other quesadillas recipes. I used a hot salsa - because I personally love all things hot, and even with that addition - the black beans have a way of keeping the spice at bay. I threw the avocado right in with the rest of the filling ingredients - and topped with fresh cilantro and sour cream! Thanks for posting!!
