I would eat Mexican food every day if I could. Unfortunately, I run low on ingredients sometimes! Last week I found myself craving some Mexican, and all I had was tortillas, ground beef, refried beans, and cheddar cheese. I did some poking around and found a recipe for Beef, Bean, and Cheese quesadillas. Even then, I didn't have all of the ingredients so I tweaked it a little bit to make it my own.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb. lean ground beef (ground turkey would probably be just as delicious)
- 1 packet (or 1/4 c.) taco seasoning
- 1 can refriend beans (I used original, but fat free works too)
- 8 in. flour tortillas
- Cheddar or Mexican Blend cheese
- Sour cream and salsa for dipping
- Brown ground beef.
- Drain beef and add taco seasoning according to directions on the packet.
- Heat a separate, dry skillet on Medium heat.
- Spread a layer of refried beans onto half of a tortilla.
- Add tortilla with beans to the heated, dry skillet.
- Add a spoonful of beef on top of the beans. Sprinkle with desired amount of cheese.
- With a spatula, fold over the empty half of the tortilla on top of the beans, beef, and cheese.
- When tortilla starts to crisp, flip over with the spatula and allow the other side to crisp as well (approximately 1-2 minutes on each side).
- Remove from heat. Make as many quesadillas as you want!
- Cut into wedges with a pizza cutter. Top or dip into your favorite condiments!
