Baked Bean Quesadillas Recipe
These baked bean quesadillas are a speedy, satisfying twist on a Tex-Mex favourite, combining beans, peppers, onion and cheese in crisp, golden tortillas.
Servings: 4 quesadillas
Equipment
- Bowl
- Frying pan with lid
Ingredients
- 200 g baked beans
- 1 red onion finely chopped
- 1 green pepper finely chopped
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 100 g mature (sharp) cheddar grated
- 4 flour tortillas
- 2 tsp salted butter
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 200C (180C fan) and place a baking sheet on the middle shelf.
- Put the baked beans, onion, green pepper, smoked paprika and grated cheddar in a bowl and mix well.
- Share the mixture between the four tortillas, spreading on one side of each tortilla.
- Fold each tortilla in half, sandwiching the filling inside and creating the classic quesadilla shape.
- Melt ½ tsp of butter in a frying pan over a medium-high heat.
- Place two quesadilla in the pan and place the lid or a plate on top.
- Fry for about 60 seconds, then remove the lid, flip, replace the lid and fry for a further 30-60 seconds until the tortilla is golden on both sides, and the cheese is melted.
- Slide the quesadillas onto the sheet in the oven to keep them warm and crisp.
- Repeat the frying process for the two remaining quesadillas.
- Cut each quesadilla into three wedges, stack on the plates and serve.
