Ingredients
 

  • 1 lb. lean ground beef
  • 1 Tbs. your favorite taco seasoning
  • 16 oz. can refried beans warm
  • 8 flour tortillas 8-inch
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or Colby/Jack cheese as desired
  • Your favorite taco toppings such as sour cream, salsa, tomatoes, lettuce, etc.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
    In a large skillet over medium high heat, cook and crumble the ground beef until no pink remains and the ground beef is fully cooked throughout; drain any fats that accumulate. Stir the taco seasoning into the cooked ground beef until well combined.
  • Meanwhile, spray a large rimmed baking sheet with non-stick spray. Lay the flour tortillas out on a large sheet of foil or parchment paper; brush one side of each tortilla lightly with oil or spray with non-stick spray.
  • Spread 2 tablespoons of the warm refried beans over each tortilla; sprinkle with the desired amount of shredded cheese.
  • Divide the prepared ground beef mixture between the tortillas, spreading it out evenly over just one side of the tortilla; fold each tortilla in half, placing each quesadilla onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Place a second rimmed baking sheet over the top of the quesadillas; bake the quesadillas on the center rack of the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until hot throughout and golden brown on both sides. Serve at once with your favorite taco toppings!
