Makes 2 quesadillas.

Tortillas: 1 cup flour ½ tsp salt 1 tsp baking powder 2 Tbsp soft butter or oil 1/3 cup warm water

Filling: shredded cheese, such as cheddar, colby jack, pepperjack, mozzarella refried beans optional: cooked meat

For tortillas, stir the dry ingredients together. Stir in the butter/oil. Add the warm water. Knead it until it's cohesive.

Preheat a skillet over high heat, then turn to medium once the surface is hot.

Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a sphere. Place between 2 sheets of thick, soft plastic (I use a large food storage zip bag with 3 sides cut off). Flatten the dough into a circle, then roll into a thin circle of dough with a rolling pin. The dough should be thin enough to be almost translucent.

Place one tortilla on the hot skillet. Spread refried beans on top and sprinkle on cheese. Place another raw tortilla on top. Cook over medium heat until the bottom has browned areas, then flip and cook the same. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Cut each quesadilla into 6 or 8 pieces, and serve with salsa, hot sauce, sour cream, or other desired toppings.

¼ cup thinly sliced onion ¼ cup minced garlic, raw or roasted 1 tsp fennel seed 1 Tbsp paprika 1 tsp cumin 3 Tbsp olive oil + some for sauteing 3 Tbsp lemon juice ½ tsp salt 2 cups cannelini beans or other white beans, cooked & rinsed

Saute onion with a small amount of olive oil, in a covered skillet over medium heat. Assemble the other ingredients in a food processor. When the onion is limp and translucent, add it to the food processor. Puree everything until it is as smooth as possible. Add a bit more lemon juice if necessary to make it smooth.
