Directions

Prep 15 minCook 10 min
  1. 1

    Heat the canola oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking for 2 minutes. Stir in the cumin and cook for an additional minute.

  2. 2

    Add the kidney beans, paprika, and water to the pan. Use a potato masher to break down the beans into a rough purée as they warm. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Spread the refried beans onto half of the tortillas. Top with cheddar cheese, cilantro, and salsa. Cover with the remaining tortillas.

  4. 4

    Wipe the frying pan clean and return it to the heat, or use a griddle pan. Cook each quesadilla for 1-2 minutes on each side until the tortillas are crisp and golden, and the cheese is melted.

  5. 5

    Serve the quesadillas warm, cut into wedges, with sour cream for dipping.
