How to Make a Quesadilla in a Toaster

Ingredients

• 2 pieces Flour Tortilla (8-inch size, soft)
• 1/2 cup Refried Beans (Canned or homemade, warmed)
• 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese (Sharp or mild, evenly shredded)
• 1/2 cup Cooked Chicken (Shredded, optional for extra protein)
• 1 teaspoon Butter or Cooking Spray (Lightly greases toaster slots if needed)

Instructions

1. Gather Ingredients

   Measure out the refried beans, shredded cheese, and optional chicken. Have the tortillas ready on a clean surface.

   Time: PT1M

2. Spread Beans on Tortilla

   Lay a tortilla flat and spread the refried beans evenly over half of the tortilla, leaving a 1‑inch border on the edge for folding.

   Time: PT2M

3. Add Cheese and Optional Chicken

   Sprinkle shredded cheese over the beans, then add shredded chicken if using. Keep the filling within the central area, still leaving space at the edge.

   Time: PT1M

4. Fold the Tortilla

   Fold the tortilla in half over the filling, pressing gently to seal the edges.

   Time: PT30S

5. Prepare the Toaster

   If your toaster slots are dry, lightly coat them with butter or cooking spray using a paper towel.

   Time: PT30S

6. Toast the Quesadilla

   Place the folded quesadilla into the toaster slot. Set the toaster to medium‑high (about 4‑5 on most models) and toast for 2‑3 minutes, or until the tortilla is golden‑brown and the cheese is melted.

   Time: PT3M

7. Cool and Slice

   Using a spatula, carefully remove the hot quesadilla and place it on a plate. Let it rest for 30 seconds, then cut into wedges with a knife.
