Cooking Steps
ā¢ Wash and dry produce. ā¢ Quarter lemon. Core, deseed, and dice green pepper. Drain and rinse beans. ā¢ In a small bowl, combine sour cream with a big squeeze of lemon juice to taste. Stir in water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
ā¢ Melt 1 TBSP butter in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add green pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3-4 minutes. ā¢ Add beans and Tex-Mex paste; season with salt and pepper. Cook until beans are warmed through, 2-3 minutes. ā¢ Turn off heat; transfer to a medium bowl. Wash out pan.
ā¢ Place tortillas on a clean work surface; evenly top one half of each tortilla with Mexican cheese blend. Top with filling, then sprinkle with Monterey Jack. Fold tortillas in half to create quesadillas.
ā¢ Melt 1 TBSP butter in pan used for filling over medium-high heat. (For 4 servings, you may need to work in batches, using 1 TBSP butter for each batch.) Add quesadillas; cook until tortillas are golden brown and cheese melts, 2-4 minutes per side. ā¢ Cut quesadillas into thirds and divide between plates. Drizzle with lemon crema and hot sauce to taste. Serve.
