Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large flour tortillas
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cups Cooked white or brown rice
- 1.5 cups Cooked ground beef or shredded chicken
- 1 cup Black beans
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
- 0.5 cup Salsa or hot sauce
- 2 tablespoons Butter or oil
- 2 tablespoons Chopped cilantro (optional)
Instructions
Heat a medium-sized skillet over medium heat and add 1/2 tablespoon of butter or oil.
Place one large flour tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the surface.
Allow the cheese to melt slightly, then place another tortilla on top, pressing gently. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the bottom tortilla is golden and crispy.
Flip the quesadilla carefully and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes. Once done, remove the quesadilla from the skillet and set aside. Repeat this process for the remaining tortillas, creating 2 quesadillas in total.
In a separate skillet, heat the cooked ground beef or shredded chicken and stir in the taco seasoning along with 2-3 tablespoons of water. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the flavors combine.
Warm the black beans and cooked rice in the microwave or on the stovetop.
Place one quesadilla on a clean surface and layer the center with 1/2 cup of rice, 1/3 cup of seasoned meat, 1/4 cup of black beans, 2 tablespoons of sour cream, and a drizzle of salsa or hot sauce. Sprinkle with cilantro if desired.
Carefully fold in the sides of the quesadilla, then roll it tightly into a burrito shape, tucking the edges as you roll.
Repeat the filling and rolling process for the remaining quesadillas.
Optional: For a crispier finish, heat the finished Quesarito in a hot, dry skillet for 1-2 minutes on each side to seal and lightly brown.
Slice the Quesaritos in half and serve warm with additional salsa, sour cream, or guacamole on the side.
