These mildly spiced, nutrient-packed beef quesadillas are more of a meal than the traditional cheese recipe.

Ingredients

12 oz (375 g) Extra Lean Ground Beef Sirloin or Extra Lean Ground Beef
1 tbsp (15 mL) chili powder
½ cup (125 mL) shredded light Cheddar cheese
½ cup (125 mL) refried beans
⅓ cup (75 mL) salsa
1 green onion, chopped
10 small flour tortillas

Directions

Pan-fry ground beef, seasoned with chili powder for 6 to 8 minutes, breaking meat into small chunks with back of spoon, until beef is browned and cooked through. Remove from heat.
Stir in cheese, refried beans, salsa and green onion. Spread 1/2 cup (125 mL) over 1 tortilla; top with a second tortilla. Repeat with remaining 8 tortillas.
Bake on cookie sheet at 450°F (230°C) for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden. Cut into wedges.
