RED BEAN QUESADILLA RECIPE

    I tasted Quesadillas only two times, and both the times I tasted only this red bean quesadillas. I had this once when we went to Raj restaurant, with my in-laws when they visited here. I loved it and again tasted and wanted to try it out at home. I could almost recreate the taste and am so happy with the result. They served it with Tomato Salsa and sour cream dip, it was yummy and tasting great with a buttery smell! Let me share the recipe straight away! Refer here for tortillas recipe.

Ingredients(filling enough for stuffing 5-6 tortillas)

Red kidney bean	1 can
Yellow onion	1
Tomato	1
Chopped coriander leaves	2 tblsp
Lemon juice	1 tsp
Pepper powder	1/2 tsp
Green chilli	1
Grated mozzarella	1/4 cup
Salt	as needed
Tortillas	5-6
Butter/ clarified butter	As needed

Method

Drain the bean in the can and wash it. Take it in a bowl and mash it coarsely. Add salt and pepper and mix well. Chop onion and tomato(deseeded), chilli very finely. Mix onion with lemon juice. Take a tortilla and spread 3 to 4 tblsp mashed bean and top it with onion, tomato, green chilli, coriander and lastly cheese as shown in the picture. Spread only half of the tortilla. Fold it exactly into half to cover the spread completely. Heat a pan and grease with butter/ ghee and arrange the tortilla stuffed with bean. I toasted two at a time. Cook in low flame on both sides until golden brown and crispy. By that time, the cheese will also melt.

   Cut each in to two quarters and serve hot with tomato salsa and sour cream or a cheesy dip! 

Notes

You can also spread over fully on a tortilla and close the filling with another tortilla, toast both sides and cut into quarters. While flipping, do carefully. Especially when you do by the above method. I found my method easy, i.e; use a tortilla and fold into a half as shown in the picture. Cheese can be increased or decreased as per your choice. More the cheese, more tasty, but watch out for the calories. One tortilla make 2 quesadillas, it depends also how big you roll and how big you want.
