Preparation

Step 1

Preheat a large griddle pan to medium heat for 5 minutes.

Lay out 4 tortillas, add enough beans to cover the surface of each tortilla. Add some cheese, another tortilla, a layer of peppers, more cheese and finally the last tortilla.

Add a little olive oil to the griddle pan and add the quesadillas. Brush the tops with more olive oil and cover them lightly with foil paper. This will create a little steam and help melt the cheese. Flip over when nicely browned and cook for another few minutes. Remove from griddle and let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Cut into quarters and serve with your favorite salsa.


Tip: The great thing about quesadillas, you really could fill them with almost anything! Try adding some roasted chicken, shredded beef or spicy shrimp. A great quick meal!
