Taco Salad Dip Quesadillas are crunchy, cheesy, delicious and so easy to make. It’s a great way to repurpose leftover Five Bean Taco Salad Dip.

A few weeks ago, I shared my take on Paisley Farm Five Bean Taco Salad Dip. I added a couple of ingredients to make it my own and it was delectable. Click here to get my recipe. 

Thankfully, we had some leftover taco salad dip so I made quesadillas the next day. The five bean taco salad dip is perfect for stuffing tortillas and making quesadillas.

If you don’t have any leftover five bean taco salad dip, just make it fresh. I look for any excuse to make this dip and will make a fresh taco dip just so I can have quesadillas. 

Ingredients for Five Bean Taco Salad Dip Quesadillas

Here’s a list of ingredients you’ll need to make the quesadillas. Scroll down for the complete printable recipe.

  • Five Bean Taco Salad Dip
  • Flour Tortillas (I use the 10-inch tortillas)
  • 3 Tablespoons butter, melted

It’s probably hard to imagine 5 bean salad as the main ingredient in a layered taco dip salad. You’ll have to trust me on this one. Paisley Farm 5 Bean Salad, rinsed, drained, mashed, and mixed with taco seasoning and a little hot sauce is unbelievably delicious. It really is.

Two Ways to Make Five Bean Taco Salad Dip Quesadillas

You can make these quesadillas in a skillet or in the oven. I like to use the skillet when I’m only making a few and the oven comes in handy when I’m making quesadillas for a crowd. 

Skillet Method:

When I’m making quesadillas in a skillet, I always use a nonstick skillet. You don’t have to use butter, but I find that butter makes everything better, so I melt a little butter to spread over one side of the tortillas.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add a tortilla, butter side down. Spoon 1/3 cup of the taco salad dip over one side of the tortilla.

Fold the top half over and repeat with another tortilla. Yes, you can fit two tortillas in the skillet. Let heat until golden brown.

Carefully flip the tortillas and brown the other side. Cut into wedges to serve.

Oven Method:

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Brush one side of each tortilla with melted butter. Place (butter side down) on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spoon about 1/3 cup of taco salad dip on one side of each tortilla. Fold plain side of tortilla over the taco dip. Bake at 375ยบ F. until crisp and golden brown (about 10 minutes). 

Tips for Making Awesome Quesadillas

  • Use flour tortillas (I love corn tortillas for tacos, but flour tortillas are best for making quesadillas)
  • Don’t overstuff the tortillas (More isn’t always better)
  • Cook over medium heat (You don’t want the outside of the tortilla to burn)
  • Quesadillas are best served hot and crunchy. No one likes a soggy quesadilla. 

How Many Servings?

For this recipe, I’m making six servings. Of course, your serving size will vary according to how much taco dip you have leftover. If you use the entire taco dip to make quesadillas, you’ll have more servings.
