Spiderweb Black Bean Quesadilla Slices
Course Appetizer
Cuisine Mexican
Servings 4 people

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Spatula
  • Zip-top bag

Ingredients
  

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

Instructions
 

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the black beans, cumin, chili powder, and salt. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring often, until the beans are warmed through and lightly mashed.
  • Lay one tortilla flat. Spread half the bean mixture over it, sprinkle with half the cheese, and top with a second tortilla. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make a second quesadilla.
  • Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Cook each quesadilla for 2 to 3 minutes per side until the tortillas turn golden and the cheese melts. Remove from the skillet and let them rest for 1 minute.
  • Spoon the sour cream into a small zip-top bag and snip off one corner. Pipe concentric circles on each quesadilla, then drag a knife from the center outward in several lines to form a web pattern. Cut each quesadilla into 6 to 8 slices.

Notes

Pipe the sour cream web right before serving so the lines stay sharp. If you make the quesadillas ahead, reheat them in a dry skillet for a minute per side to restore crispness before adding the sour cream. Adjust the chili powder up or down based on your heat preference.
