    From the Test Kitchen

    Packed inside crispy tortillas, cheddar and monterey jack delightfully melt around a heart filling of mashed pinto beans mixed with our honey habanero spice blend for a kick of heat. A bright cabbage slaw, plus a dollop of guacamole, are perfect for balancing the subtle heat of the quesadillas.

    15-Min Pinto Bean Quesadillas with Shredded Cabbage Slaw & Guacamole
    Title
    • 10 oz Pork Chorizo
    • 1 15.5-Oz Can Pinto Beans
    • 2 Flour Tortillas
    • 4 oz Shredded Cabbage & Carrots
    • 2 tsps Smoky Honey Habanero Spice Blend (Honey Granules, Brown Sugar, Smoked Paprika, Salt & Habanero Powder)
    • 1 bunch Cilantro
    • 2 oz Shredded Cheddar & Monterey Jack Cheese Blend
    • 1 Lime
    • 2 Tbsps Mayonnaise
    • 2 Scallions
    • ¼ cup Guacamole

    15-Min Pinto Bean Quesadillas

    Prepare the ingredients
    1 Prepare the ingredients

    Wash and dry the fresh produce. Thinly slice the scallions. Drain and rinse the beans; transfer to a large bowl. Using a potato masher (or a fork) mash the beans until slightly broken down. Add the sliced scallions, cheddar and monterey jack, and as much of the spice blend as you'd like, depending on how spicy you'd like the dish to be.

    2 Cook the chorizo

    In a large nonstick pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the chorizo; break the meat apart with a spoon. Cook, without stirring, 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, 4 to 5 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Transfer to the bowl of filling. Stir to combine. Wipe out the pan. Use the same pan to cook the quesadillas.

    3 Assemble & cook the quesadillas

    Place the tortillas on a work surface. Top one half of the tortillas with the filling; fold the tortillas in half over the filling. In a large nonstick pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium until hot. Working in batches if necessary, add the quesadillas. Cook 2 to 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted (if the pan seems dry, add a drizzle of olive oil before flipping). Transfer to a cutting board and immediately season with salt. Carefully cut into thirds.

    4 Make the slaw & serve your dish

    Meanwhile, roughly chop the cilantro leaves and stems. Quarter the lime(s). In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise and the juice of 2 lime wedges (or 4 wedges for 4 servings). Season with salt and pepper; stir to combine. Add the cabbage and carrots and chopped cilantro. Toss to coat. Serve the cooked quesadillas with the slaw and guacamole. Serve the remaining lime wedges on the side. Enjoy!
