Bean and Cheese burritos tend to be a staple item in our house along with quesadillas. So I thought of making a hybrid of the 2 – bean and cheese quesadillas!
They are so simple to make and use items I keep on hand in my pantry.This recipe is so easy that even the kids can make it. I love to keep canned items in my pantry or otherwise known as my “cantry”. Cans help you save prep time and get a healthy, homemade meal on the table more often.
I also serve this simple Mexican rice along with the quesadillas. It is another great recipe that uses items from my cantry. I usually make a double batch and freeze half for another meal.
I am a Canbassador for Cans Get You Cooking and love how canned food portion sizes are suited to both individuals and families and most recipes are designed around these sizes.

- Divide mixture evenly between 6 of the tortillas and spread over the tortillas.
