Pinto Beans & Chilies Quesadillas

Recipe #296281 | 27 min | 15 min prep | SERVES 6 , 6 quesadillas (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Stefany Anne

This is from the cookbook Land O Lakes Occasionally Vegetarian. I don't use the cilantro, or the green onions. You can also use whatever kind of beans and cheese you like(I've tried chili beans and black beans and also taco cheese or 3 cheese in place of the cheddar.) One last note, I find it easier to oil the pan, instead of brushing the oil on the tortillas.
