Scale
Ingredients
- 1 Large Flour Tortilla
- ⅓ Cup Canned Refried Beans
- ¼ Cup Shredded Mexican Style Cheese
- ¼ Cup Chunky Salsa
Instructions
- Spread the Beans: Spread a tortilla evenly with ⅓ cup of canned refried beans, ensuring a uniform layer for balanced flavor and texture.
- Add the Salsa: Evenly spread ¼ cup of chunky salsa over the layer of refried beans to introduce a zesty taste.
- Sprinkle the Cheese: Generously sprinkle ¼ cup of shredded Mexican style cheese over the salsa to create a rich, melty filling.
- Fold the Tortilla: Carefully fold the tortilla in half, enclosing the filling and forming a half-moon shape ready for cooking.
- Toast in Toaster Oven: Place the folded quesadilla on the toaster oven rack and use the TOAST setting to cook until the tortilla is lightly browned and the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
Notes
- Use the TOAST setting on your toaster oven rather than the BAKE setting for a perfectly crispy quesadilla.
- Feel free to add extra fillings like cooked chicken or vegetables if desired before folding.
- Monitor closely during toasting to avoid burning the tortilla.
- This recipe is best served immediately for optimal crispness and melted cheese texture.
