Cheese & Bean Quesadillas

This recipe will satisfy hungry kids in the morning and is a good dish to get children to get involved in cooking. This cheese & bean quesadillas dish will be a star as a party appetizer.

Ingredients:
4 to 8 flour tortillas
Olive oil as needed
1 cup homemade refried beans
1/4 cup warm water
8 oz mix Mexican blended cheese
1 cup chopped onions
1 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
1/4 cup green onions, thinly sliced
1 cup salsa
Directions:
In a bowl, place the refried beans into 1/4 cup of warm water.
In a light nonstick skillet, warm tortillas one by one. Remove from skillet and quickly spread with a warm layer of beans. Top each tortilla with another layer of cheese, onions, green onions, cilantro and a spoonful of salsa. Roll up tightly.

Just before serving, heat the nonstick skillet over medium meet and spray with some water. Add the tortilla rolls, cover the skillet, and heat thoroughly until the cheese melts. Tortillas can be a little brown (your choice).
Remove from skillet and slice each roll diagonally into 4 bite-size pieces. Serve with more salsa on the side.

The children might want to eat their tortillas without cutting them.
