Bean and Cheese Quesadillas
Easy Bean and Cheese Quesadillas recipe. Made with mashed black beans, this creamy lunch idea is perfect to take to work.
Happy Cinco de Mayo!
As a Canadian, I can't say that I have ever celebrated Cinco de Mayo. But now that I am in the US, I love a good excuse to eat tortillas and tacos. And these Bean and Cheese Quesadillas are the first things I am going to be making.
Did you know that Tortilla Pans were a thing? I didn't, until I got this FORCE BLUE Blue Carbon Steel Crepe and Tortilla Pan from De Buyer. These Bean and Cheese Quesadillas are made on that pan, and let me tell you. It made such a difference, and cooked the quesadillas so perfectly.
My sister saw the pan that I was using and immediately bought one herself because she fell in love with how well it cooked both tortillas and crepes. I promise you, once you try it you won't want to cook quesadillas any other way.
What do you need to make these Bean and Cheese Quesadillas?
Not much at all! Perfect for a last minute lunch idea for Cinco de Mayo with these ingredients:
- black beans
- salsa
- mayonnaise
- cheese
- cumin
- chili powder
- flour tortillas

Can these be baked in the oven like the mushroom and spinach quesadillas?
I have never baked them in the oven, but I am sure it would work!
This looks amazing the, crisp and softness of the tortilla that is paired with the deliciousness of bean and cheese is awesome!
