  1. Lime-Yogurt Dip
    1. Zest the lime, then squeeze its juice into a small bowl. Stir in the Greek yogurt, half of the cilantro, the lime zest and a pinch of salt. Refrigerate until serving.
    0.1 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped, 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt, 1 piece Lime, 0.2 tsp Salt
  2. Bean Filling
    2. Mince the garlic and thinly slice the scallions. In a bowl, coarsely mash the black beans with a fork, leaving some whole for texture. Mix in the garlic, scallions, jalapeno, cumin, smoked paprika, remaining cilantro and the remaining salt.
    1 can Canned black beans, drained and rinsed, 1 tsp Ground cumin, 0.5 tsp Smoked paprika, 1 clove Garlic, 2 piece Scallions, 1 piece Jalapeno, finely diced, 0.1 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped, 0.2 tsp Salt
  3. Assemble and Crisp
    3. Lay the tortillas on a board. Sprinkle cheese over half of each tortilla, spread the bean mixture on top, then add a little more cheese. Fold each tortilla over to form a half-moon and press down gently.
    4 piece Corn or flour tortillas (8-inch), 1.5 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
  4. 4. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and brush with a little vegetable oil. Cook the quesadillas 2 to 3 minutes per side, in batches if needed and adding oil as required, until deep golden, crisp and the cheese has melted.
    2 tbsp Vegetable oil
  5. Serve
    5. Rest the quesadillas for 1 minute, then cut into wedges. Serve hot with the lime-yogurt dip.
