Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tomatoes, diced
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon crushed garlic
  • 12 cup salsa
  • 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can refried black beans
  • 6 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, grated
  • 4 flour tortillas (8-10 inches round)

Method

  • Heat up the oil in a frying pan and saute the onions, garlic and spices for about 10 minutes over medium-low heat or until they are soft and translucent.
  • Add the tomatoes and salsa and cook for another 5 minutes.
  • Transfer the onion mixture to a seperate bowl and rinse out the pan.
  • Spread a thin layer of the beans on top of the entire tortilla (having the beans on both sides of the quesadilla keeps it from falling apart).
  • Spoon 1/4 of the onion mixture over just half of each tortilla and top with 2 oz of cheese.
  • Fold the tortilla in half so that it forms a half circle.
  • Repeat with the other 3 tortillas.
  • Heat up more oil in the pan and fry the quesadillas over medium-low heat, until both sides are browned and the cheese is melted.
  • Top with your favorite mexican condiments (I'm a huge avocado fan!
  • ).
