A homemade version of Chipotle's (in)famous menu hack, the Quesarito.
Category: Main Dish
Cuisine: Mexican
Yield: 1 quesarito
Ingredients
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • ¼ cup chopped onion
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • ¾ tsp cumin
  • ¾ tsp chili powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 burrito-size flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
  • ¾ cup cooked white rice
  • ⅓ cup salsa of choice
  • ⅓ cup guacamole
  • Optional: chopped cilantro, sauteed onions and peppers
Instructions
  1. Lightly oil a grill pan or large skillet and set aside.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and saute until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, cumin, chili powder and salt and cook for 1 minute.
  3. Add black beans and cook until heated through, 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
  4. Heat the oiled grill pan/skillet over medium heat.
  5. Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly across one tortilla and lay the other tortilla on top. Carefully place in skillet and cook each side for 2-3 minutes, until cheese is mostly melted. Do not turn heat up too high - you don't want the tortilla to get crispy. Don't worry - we'll cook it more in just a minute!
  6. Remove quesadilla to a sheet of tinfoil. Spread rice, beans, salsa, guacamole, and anything else you're using evenly across the bottom third of the quesadilla. Carefully tuck in ends and roll the quesadilla up tightly. Roll tinfoil firmly around the rolled-up quesadilla.
  7. Place the rolled-up tinfoil package on the skillet and return to medium heat. Cook 3-4 minutes, turning twice, until heated through. Serve immediately.
