Quesadillas With Refried Beans Cheese Scallion Sour Cream Food

REFRIED BEAN AND CHEESE QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• In a small pot, warm the refried beans, over medium-low heat.
• It is best to build the quesadilla in the pan in which it is going to be cooked in. That way there is less chance of everything falling apart before you get it to the pan. Set a cast iron frying pan, over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter; melt and spread around the pan.**
• Lay a tortilla on a plate or flat surface. Spoon some of the warmed refried beans onto it and smooth out all over the tortilla as you were icing a cake. Leave about ½-inch of space around the outer edge and place it in the preheated pan.
• Quickly, add the cheese and optional peppers.
• Top with another bean-covered tortilla. This time turn the beans downward so that it sandwiches the other ingredients underneath.
• Let the quesadilla cook for about 1 to 1 ½ minutes before flipping***.
• Flip and allow the other side to crisp for 1 to 1 ½ minutes.
• Carefully slide onto a plate. We always use a pizza cutter to slice it up as you would a pizza. Garnish with any toppings you choose.

Add 1/2 cup water, bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl.
• Lay a tortilla on a work surface and top evenly with 1/2 cup Cheddar. Add 1/4 of the chorizo, 1/4 of the beans and some jalapeno. Fold the tortilla in half to enclose fillings. Repeat with remaining tortillas and ingredients.
• Melt 1/2 tablespoon butter in a large non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Cook the quesadilla, flipping once, until the cheese is melted and it is golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to a cutting board and repeat with the remaining quesadillas.
• Cut into triangles and serve with guacamole, salsa, chopped scallions and sour cream.

STEWED CHICKEN, REFRIED BEANS AND OAXACA CHEESE QUESADILLAS

Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook, breaking up the tomatoes with a spoon, for 10 minutes. Add the chicken breast, nestling it in the sauce, and simmer, flipping once, until cooked through, 8 to 9 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate, shred it, and return it to the sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
• Lay a tortilla on a work surface and top evenly with 1/2 cup Oaxaca cheese. Add a quarter of the shredded chicken and tomato sauce and a quarter of the beans. Fold the tortilla in half to enclose the fillings. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and ingredients.
• Melt 1/2 tablespoon butter in a large nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Cook one of the quesadillas, flipping once, until golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to a cutting board and repeat with the remaining quesadillas.

QUESADILLAS WITH REFRIED BEANS, CHEESE & SCALLION SOUR CREAM

Steps:

• Combine the sour cream and scallions and set aside. Arrange all your ingredients so that they'll be easy to add to the quesadilla. Lay several layers of paper towel on a work surface and have a cooling rack and tongs ready. In a skillet large enough to hold the tortilla, heat 2 Tbs. oil over medium-high heat. When the oil is very hot, lay a tortilla in it. Cook until the underside is slightly blistered and light brown, about 20 seconds. Lift the tortilla with tongs and hold it over the pan to let most of the oil drip back into the pan. Put the tortilla back in the pan, uncooked side down. Quickly distribute the filling ingredients over the tortilla: about a quarter of the refried beans, a quarter of both cheeses, and 1 Tbs. or so of both the salsa and the cilantro. The tortilla will puff up in places, but that's fine. When the second side of the tortilla is puffed and crisp but still pliable, fold the tortilla in half with the tongs, transfer it to the paper towels, and then transfer to the cooling rack while you make the next one. Cut into wedges and serve with more salsa, if you like, and the sour cream.
