Ingredients
Scale
8 whole-grain or whole wheat tortillas
1 1/3 cups seasoned refried beans
6 oz. sharp cheddar cheese, grated
1 red pepper, finely diced, about 1 cup
1/2 cup light sour cream
Instructions
- Preheat large skillet or cast iron griddle over medium-low heat. (For my cast iron griddle the quesadillas cook best at a setting of 3 on a scale of 1 to 10.)
- Spread 1 tortilla with 1/2 cup seasoned refried beans.
- Sprinkle ¼ cup red pepper and 1½ ounces grated cheese evenly over the top.
- Top with second tortilla. Cook until brown and crispy, about 3 minutes on each side.
- Cut into quarters and serve each quesadilla with 2 tablespoons light sour cream.
