  • red black eyed beans (azuki)
  • paprika powder
  • cloves garlic

  • virgin olive oil
  • tomato skin
  • sugar
  • onion
  • rajma (large kidney beans)
  • black eyed beans (lobia)
  • dried oregano

Instructions:

  • To begin making the 3 Beans Stuffed Quesadillas Recipe, we will make the Homemade Whole Wheat Flour Tortillas, combine the flour, salt and olive oil together in a large mixing bowl
  • Gradually knead the dough adding a little water at a time until the dough comes together and becomes smooth and elastic
  • Knead well for about 5 minutes, this will make the dough fluffy and soft when cooked on the skillet
  • Divide the dough into 8 portions and shape them into balls
  • Preheat the iron skillet on medium high heat
  • Flatten these balls with the palm of your hand
  • Take a portion of the dough, toss it on the flour and roll out into thin circles to approximately 6 inches in diameter
  • As you roll them out, you can keep tossing the dough in dry flour while rolling; this will prevent it from getting sticky when rolling them out
  • Cook the rolled dough as indicated in the steps below
  • Continue the process of rolling with the remaining portions of the dough
  • We will now pressure cook the Rajma with water for about 3 whistle until done
  • Switch off the heat and allow the pressure to release naturally and add the black eyed peas and masoor and add some more water cook it for about 3 more whistle
  • Keep it aside
  • Heat a sauce pan with oil, add onions and garlic saute them until it softens
  • Add the pureed tomatoes and cooked beans along with some water, cook for about 5 minutes
  • Later add spices along with salt and cook until the gravy thickens
  • Our filling is ready
  • Our next step is to grill the Quesadillas
  • Preheat a cast iron skillet while we fill and prepare the quesadillas
  • Spread butter on one side of the large tortilla
  • With heat on medium, place the buttered side down on the skillet
  • Spoon over some 3 beans filling over one-half of the tortilla, leaving about 1/2 an inch space from the edge
  • Sprinkle some grated cheese over this filling
  • Fold over the empty half of the tortilla, covering the filling, making a semi-circular quesadilla
  • Heat this side until the bottom-surface develops deep golden-brown spots and the cheese melts
  • This would take about 2 to three minutes
  • Press down the Quesadilla so the cheese melts
  • Once the bottom has turned golden and crisp, flip the Quesadilla over carefully and allow the other side to brown up
  • Once done, transfer to the serving plate
  • Using a pizza cutter or a knife, cut to form triangular portions of the quesadilla
  • Serve the 3 Beans Stuffed Quesadillas along with tomato salsa, pineapple salsa and a bowl of sour curd to go along with your quesadillas
