Ingredients

• 4 pieces Large flour tortillas
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 cups Cooked white or brown rice
• 1.5 cups Cooked ground beef or shredded chicken
• 1 cup Black beans
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
• 0.5 cup Salsa or hot sauce
• 2 tablespoons Butter or oil
• 2 tablespoons Chopped cilantro (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a medium-sized skillet over medium heat and add 1/2 tablespoon of butter or oil.

Step 2

Place one large flour tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the surface.

Step 3

Allow the cheese to melt slightly, then place another tortilla on top, pressing gently. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the bottom tortilla is golden and crispy.

Step 4

Flip the quesadilla carefully and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes. Once done, remove the quesadilla from the skillet and set aside. Repeat this process for the remaining tortillas, creating 2 quesadillas in total.

Step 5

In a separate skillet, heat the cooked ground beef or shredded chicken and stir in the taco seasoning along with 2-3 tablespoons of water. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the flavors combine.

Step 6

Warm the black beans and cooked rice in the microwave or on the stovetop.

Step 7

Place one quesadilla on a clean surface and layer the center with 1/2 cup of rice, 1/3 cup of seasoned meat, 1/4 cup of black beans, 2 tablespoons of sour cream, and a drizzle of salsa or hot sauce. Sprinkle with cilantro if desired.

Step 8

Carefully fold in the sides of the quesadilla, then roll it tightly into a burrito shape, tucking the edges as you roll.

Step 9

Repeat the filling and rolling process for the remaining quesadillas.

Step 10

Optional: For a crispier finish, heat the finished Quesarito in a hot, dry skillet for 1-2 minutes on each side to seal and lightly brown.

Step 11

Slice the Quesaritos in half and serve warm with additional salsa, sour cream, or guacamole on the side.
