Instructions
Assemble the Quesadilla
Lay one flour tortilla flat on a microwave-safe plate. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly across the entire surface, then scatter the black beans and dust with garlic powder.
Top and Microwave
Place the second tortilla on top and press down gently. Microwave on high for 60 to 90 seconds until the cheese is fully melted and the tortilla edges are warm throughout.
Crisp in the Pan Optional
If you want a crispier texture, transfer the quesadilla to a dry skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds per side. This step is optional but makes a noticeable difference in texture.
Slice and Serve
Let the quesadilla rest for 30 seconds then slice into wedges using a pizza cutter or sharp knife. Serve with salsa and sour cream on the side for dipping.
