Step-by-Step Instructions for Refried Bean Quesadillas
  1. Prepare the Tortillas: Lay out small flour tortillas on a clean surface and spread a generous layer of refried beans over one half of each tortilla.
  2. Add the Toppings: Drizzle salsa over the beans, sprinkle cheese, add tortilla chips, then fold the tortilla in half.
  3. Heat the Pan: Lightly spray a large skillet with oil, place it over medium heat, and warm for about 2 minutes.
  4. Cook the Quesadillas: Place two folded quesadillas in the skillet, spray tops with oil, and cook for 2-3 minutes until golden.
  5. Flip and Finish Cooking: Flip quesadillas with a spatula and cook for another 2-3 minutes until both sides are golden brown.
  6. Slice and Serve: Remove from pan, cool for a minute, slice in half, and serve warm with dips like guacamole or sour cream.
