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

Reviews from our home cooks
Excellent quesadillas AND I'm learning about the ever versatile Poblano Chile! I've started using ghee instead of olive oil since ghee holds heat better than the extra virgin OO that I keep on the shelf. It works.
Loved the quesadillas. The flavor of the black bean and poblano were spot on.
My kids and I loved these! My favorite part was the crunch and the lime crema
Very easy and very yummy! It's hard to mess up a bean quesadilla and this was a great item for lunch
Great taste, but the last step way over estimated how hot the pan was. After 2 minutes, one side of the quesadilla was black. Reduce the heat for the last step.
I would recommend broiling and peeling poblanos in any recipe. The texture is so much better that way. I did this, then de-seeded and diced and cooked with the beans as directed. Turned out great.
Pretty good! The quesadillas were tasty, but I wish there was more to go along with them as I felt they were a bit heavy on their own. I think they would benefit from some fresh salsa or pico or even just some chopped up tomatoes on top.
Good but more of a lunch meal. I added a chopped onion and garlic to the black bean mixture. There was plenty of cheese included with this meal.
The poblano pepper makes the tastebuds wake up. Fast, easy and delicious.
Just add lime juice to the sour cream, not water. The lime is left over anyway, and water is... gross. Also recommend adding some purple onion to the bean, pepper mix.
