Recipe type: Main Course

Cuisine: Casual

Serves: 6

Ingredients

4 large flour tortillas
½ cup cream cheese at room temperature
½ can tinned black beans, drained and rinsed
leftover chicken, pork, beef or you can cook 6 strips bacon until crisp (crumble)
4 green onions chopped
1 large tomatoes, seeded and chopped
¼ cup chopped fresh coriander
2 cups grated cheese { I used the pre-grated Mexican mix of Cheddar, Colby and Montery Jack}
2 Tbsp. olive oil
salsa, guacamole and sour cream

Instructions

Lay out tortillas on a work surface. Spread cream cheese evenly over all 4 tortillas.
Spoon black beans over 2 tortillas then layer meat over beans. Sprinkle meat with green onions, tomato and coriander. Divided grated cheeses evenly between the two.
Sandwich tortillas together and press gently.
Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil and gently place in quesadilla. Cook until tortilla is crisp and golden, about 4 minutes, then gently flip and cook until crisp, another 3 to 4 minutes.
Remove and let rest for 3 minutes before slicing. Repeat with remaining quesadilla.
Slice each quesadilla into 6 and serve with salsa, quacamole and sour cream.

I hope you enjoy this simple, quick and delicious meal!
