- 600 g escarole salad
- 6 tbsp. l. olive oil

Preparation:

- Place 4 tortillas on a work surface. Spread 1/2 cup of cheese evenly on each, then add the lettuce in an even layer. Sprinkle more cheese evenly on top, 1/2 cup per tortilla. Top with the remaining tortillas.
- Wipe out the skillet. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Place 1 quesadilla in the skillet and cover. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the bottom is golden brown. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until golden brown on the other side. Transfer the quesadilla to a work surface and repeat the process with the remaining tortillas.
- Cut the remaining salad into thin strips. Add the beans, tomato, lime juice, cumin, 1 tablespoon of oil, and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper.
Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve with salsa and bean salad.
