- 5 tsp. vegetable oil, divided
- ¼ cup diced onion
- ¼ cup chopped jalapeño chiles
- 4 eggs, divided
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided
Preparation
- Spread 3 Tbs. refried beans on each of 2 tortillas; leave ¼-inch border.
- Heat 1 tsp. oil in small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and jalapeño, and sauté 2 to 3 minutes, or until softened. Transfer to bowl, and set aside.

Halve or quarter quesadillas before serving.
