Method

  1. 1

    Mix the refried beans with the ground cumin and sweetcorn in a bowl until combined.

  2. 2

    Lay a tortilla flat. Spread half of it generously with the bean mixture, then scatter over a quarter of the grated cheese. Fold the empty half over to create a half-moon. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

  3. 3

    Heat a large dry frying pan over a medium heat. Cook each quesadilla for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and the cheese has melted.

  4. 4

    Slice each quesadilla into three wedges and serve with salsa and soured cream on the side.
