  • 1/2 tsp Cumin

  • Heat the griddle to 375 degrees Fahrenheit or the frying pan to medium-high. While the griddle or pan is heating, assemble your quesadillas by spreading the refried bean mixture on half of a tortilla. Sprinkle on enough shredded cheese to cover the smashed beans and fold the tortilla in half.
