Chef's Notes
Do not skip the rinsing of the canned beans, unless you enjoy the metallic symphony of preservative water ruining your fine dining experience.
Pro Tip
Press the beans firmly into the tortilla using a fork with conviction; this acts as edible glue so your filling doesn't stage a coup when you fold the quesadilla.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Blasting the skillet on high heat because you are impatient, resulting in a charcoal-black tortilla bottom while the cheddar cheese remains defiantly solid and cold.
