Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed

2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chipotle chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
8 flour tortillas
2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
Salsa and Greek yogurt for serving

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cook the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Add Aromatics: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet, cooking until the onion is translucent (about 3-4 minutes).
Season the Mixture: Stir in the black beans, chipotle chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.
Assemble the Quesadillas: Place four tortillas on the prepared baking sheet. Spread the beef and bean mixture evenly over the tortillas, then sprinkle with cheese. Top with the remaining tortillas.

Slice and Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Slice into squares and serve with salsa and Greek yogurt.
