Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the filling

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the shredded beef and heat through. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Assemble the quesadilla

    On half of each tortilla, spread a layer of refried beans, add a portion of shredded beef, and top with Oaxaca cheese. Fold the tortillas over to create a half-moon shape.

  3. 3

    Cook the quesadilla

    In the same skillet, heat cooking oil over medium heat. Cook each quesadilla for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and the cheese is melted.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Cut the quesadillas into wedges, and serve with sour cream, salsa verde, and chopped cilantro on the side.
