Cheesy Bean and Taco Meat Quesadillas

1.In a skillet, combine the browned ground beef, taco seasoning, and water. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened. Set aside.

2.Warm the refried beans in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through. Alternatively, microwave according to package directions.

3.Lay out four tortillas. Spread about 1/4 cup of refried beans evenly over one half of each tortilla. Top the beans with about 1/4 cup of the taco meat mixture.

4.Sprinkle about 1/4 cup of shredded cheese over the meat on each tortilla. Fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling to create a half-moon shape.

5.Heat the vegetable oil or butter in a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.

6.Carefully place two quesadillas in the hot skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey.

7.Remove the cooked quesadillas from the skillet and place them on a cutting board. Cut each quesadilla into wedges.

8.Repeat with the remaining quesadillas.

9.Serve immediately, topped with shredded lettuce, and with sour cream and taco sauce for dipping.
