Crispy Buffalo White Bean Quesadillas

Directions

- 2Add the beans, 1/4 cup buffalo sauce, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, cayenne and black pepper, stir and cook.
- 3Mash roughly half the beans with the back of a spoon until thick and cohesive, leaving plenty of whole beans for texture, add a splash of water if too thick, then taste and adjust buffalo sauce, salt or cayenne.
- 4Remove from the heat and stir in the greek yogurt.
- 5Toss the cabbage with greek yogurt, buffalo sauce, lime juice, rice vinegar and a pinch of salt.
- 6Heat a little butter or olive oil in a clean skillet over medium heat, place one tortilla in the pan and sprinkle about half the cheese over one half.
- 7Spoon half the buffalo bean mixture over the cheese, sprinkle another small handful of cheese on top, fold the tortilla over and cook until deeply golden and crisp.
- 8Flip and cook until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is crisp, then repeat with the second tortilla.
