Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 Large Flour Tortilla
  • ⅓ Cup Canned Refried Beans
  • ¼ Cup Shredded Mexican Style Cheese
  • ¼ Cup Chunky Salsa


Instructions

  1. Spread Beans: Evenly spread ⅓ cup of canned refried beans over one side of the large flour tortilla, creating a smooth layer.
  2. Add Salsa: Spoon ¼ cup of chunky salsa over the beans, spreading gently to distribute it evenly.
  3. Sprinkle Cheese: Sprinkle ¼ cup of shredded Mexican style cheese on top of the salsa, ensuring even coverage.
  4. Fold Tortilla: Carefully fold the tortilla in half to encase the fillings.
  5. Toast Quesadilla: Place the folded tortilla on the toaster oven rack. Set the toaster oven to the TOAST setting and cook until the tortilla is lightly browned and the cheese has melted, approximately 5 minutes.

Notes

  • Use a toaster oven that allows you to adjust settings to avoid over-toasting or burning the tortilla.
  • For a spicier quesadilla, consider using a hot salsa or adding jalapeño slices.
  • Feel free to add extra fillings like cooked chicken or vegetables for added protein and flavor.
  • To make cleanup easier, place a sheet of parchment paper on the toaster oven rack before toasting.
