These Bean and Cheese Quesadillas deliver authentic Mexican flavor with minimal effort. Flavored refried beans get a freshness boost from chopped cilantro, parsley and red onion, while two types of cheese create the perfect melt. The whole wheat tortillas crisp beautifully in a quick skillet preparation, creating the ideal contrast to the creamy filling. Cut into wedges, they make 32 perfect appetizer portions or a satisfying meal when paired with rice and beans. Quick enough for weeknight dinners yet special enough for entertaining, these versatile quesadillas please both kids and adults alike.
