Quesadillas- Refried Bean and Spinach


Quesadillas- Refried Bean and Spinach

These spicy Refried Bean-and-Spinach Quesadillas go great with a beer or glass of wine.

Ingredients

• 1 (16-ounce) can spicy refried beans
• 10 fajita-size flour tortillas
• 1 / 2 cup chopped scallions
• 1 1 / 2 cups fine-sliced fresh spinach leaves*
• 1 cup grated extra-sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 cup prepared salsa, optional
• 1 cup sour cream, optional

Method

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Divide the refried beans among 5 tortillas, spreading them evenly over each. Top each with a portion of scallions, then spinach, then cheese. Press the remaining tortillas on top to form quesadillas.

Coat a large skillet with no-stick cooking spray; set over medium heat. One at a time, toast each quesadilla about 2 minutes per side until browned on both sides. Coat the skillet with additional cooking spray between cooking each quesadilla.

As they finish toasting, transfer the quesadillas to a baking pan and place in the oven to keep warm. To serve, quarter each quesadilla to serve with salsa and sour cream, if desired. Makes 20 pieces.
