Instructions
- Finely chop cilantro.
- Cut tomato into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Peel, then cut onion into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Juice lime.
- Drain and rinse beans.
- In a large non-stick pan, heat 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil over medium-high heat.
- When the pan is hot, add three-quarters of the onions and three-quarters of the beans. Cook for 2-5 min, stirring occasionally, until beans soften.
- To the pan with beans, add 2 tsp (4 tsp) Chili-Cumin Spice Blend and 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) water. Season with salt.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 2-3 min, mashing beans roughly with a spoon, until liquid is absorbed. Season with salt and pepper.
- Remove the pan from heat.
- Meanwhile, prepare a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle 2 tsp (4 tsp) oil over parchment.
- Arrange tortillas on a clean surface. Spread bean filling evenly over one side of each tortilla.
- Sprinkle cheese over filling. Fold tortillas in half to enclose filling, pressing lightly to flatten.*
- On the prepared baking sheet, arrange assembled quesadillas. Drizzle 2 tsp (4 tsp) oil over top.
- Bake on the middle rack of the oven for 4-6 min, until cheese melts. Carefully flip quesadillas.
- Continue to bake for 3-6 min, until crisp and golden.
- Meanwhile, to a medium bowl, add spinach, tomatoes, cilantro, lime juice, remaining Chili-Cumin Spice Blend, remaining beans, remaining onions and 2 tsp (4 tsp) oil. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
- Cut quesadillas into wedges.
- Serve quesadillas with pico de gallo salad alongside.
- Serve sour cream and salsa on the side for dipping.
- Enjoy!
