Directions

  1. 1Heat the butter or olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, add the red onion and bell pepper and cook until softened, then add the garlic and cook another minute.
  2. 2Add the beans, 1/4 cup buffalo sauce, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, cayenne and black pepper, stir and cook.
  3. 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.
  4. 4Remove from the heat and stir in the greek yogurt.
  5. 5Toss the cabbage with greek yogurt, buffalo sauce, lime juice, rice vinegar and a pinch of salt.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 8Flip and cook until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is crisp, then repeat with the second tortilla.
  9. 9Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve with the buffalo slaw and ranch.
