Categories     main-dish

Time 42m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

About 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 (15 1/2-ounce) can pinto beans, drained
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more, to taste
16 corn tortillas, preferably white
1 1/2 cups Cheddar (about 3 ounces)
1 ripe Hass avocado
1 ripe tomato, cored and diced
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup sour cream, optional

Steps:

  • Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large skillet, over medium-high heat, with the cumin, coriander, and toast the spices until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the beans and mash with a potato masher into a thick paste. Mix in 1/2 teaspoon salt and transfer to a bowl. Rinse and dry the skillet.
  • Lay out half the tortillas on a work surface. Spoon and spread the beans evenly onto the tortillas. Scatter the cheese evenly over the beans, and top with the remaining tortillas.
  • Halve, seed and dice the avocado. Toss with the tomato and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Melt about 1/2 tablespoon of the butter over medium heat in the skillet. Cook the quesadillas one at a time, until golden and the cheese melts, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side. (Add a bit more butter, if needed when they are turned.) Transfer to a cutting board and cool briefly before cutting into wedges. Serve warm with the avocado mixture and the sour cream, if desired.

BEAN AND CHEESE QUESADILLA



Bean and Cheese Quesadilla image

This is a kid pleaser recipe, especially served with ranch dressing for dipping. We often eat these for lunch along with chips and salsa. For a lower fat version, just microwave them instead of frying. They just lack the buttery crispy edges, but my kids still like them.

BAKED BEAN AND CHEESE QUESADILLAS



Baked Bean and Cheese Quesadillas image

These quesadillas have little in common with fast-food varieties, which are made with flour tortillas and a lot more cheese. A Taco Bell cheese quesadilla has 480 calories and 1,000 milligrams of sodium; if you order cheese quesadillas at Baja Fresh, you're asking for 1,200 calories and 2,140 milligrams of sodium. I make a meal out of quesadillas by including beans or vegetables with the cheese, and I use corn tortillas rather than flour. Another plus: Quesadillas make a great destination for leftovers. Beans in a thick sauce make a delicious and comforting quesadilla filling.
