Flip the quesadilla over in the pan, and heat for about 30 seconds to a minute or until the cheese has melted. Flip back over, and remove to a plate. Cut into quarters or sixths, and serve.

Cooking Notes

I also make my own black beans, add onions, garlic, jalapenos, tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, Mexican oregano, cilantro. They freeze nicely. I cook my quesadillas in a pan but prefer flour tortillas so you can pick up a slice. Corn tortillas are delicious but can make for messy eating.

I prepared my beans from dried beans. I tripled the recipe. By the third quesadilla I figured out it was better to mix the beans and goat cheese together. Needed a little salt.

This is an easy, satisfying dish. I used white corn tortillas to get me over not really liking corn tortillas, and they handled well. Since I was making dinner instead of an appetizer, I put 6 tortillas on a sheet pan, added the inside ingredients and broiled. When the tortillas started to curl, I added the top, and broiled less than a minute more. This really needs salsa...

I used this recipe as an inspiration. Having some leftover mushroom risotto in the fridge, layered it on whole wheat tortillas with some black beans, peppadew peppers, scallions, grated cheddar and cooked it as described. Salsa and guacamole on the side. Yummy and very easy.
Sheila Pulver
Quick, easy recipe that benefits from additions. I added roasted squash but sweet potatoes would also be good, and adding a little cumin to the mixture for depth of flavor. I scattered sliced scallions and cilantro over as well.
Becky
A lot of taste for an extremely easy recipe. I sprinkled my black beans (canned - drained and rinsed) with garlic powder and Tajín and I took the extra time to make the stovetop version because I like the way it crisps the tortilla.

Easy-put green onions & green olives in along w/ goat cheese. Good. Pan-fried better than microwave as I tried both.
Paulina
Flavorless and bland. No spices, not even salt?

Can you layer a flour tortilla with a corn tortilla and put goat cheese between them to bond? I love the flavor of corn tortillas too, so I do that.
