Prepare Ingredients: Gather your ingredients – refried beans, flour tortillas, shredded cheese, and taco sauce.

Top with Tortillas: Place the remaining tortillas over the cheese and bean mixture to create 2 quesadillas.

Microwave: Take one quesadilla and place it on a microwave-safe plate. Cover it with a paper towel to prevent splattering. Microwave on HIGH for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is heated through.

Serve: Once heated, carefully remove the quesadillas from the microwave. Cut each quesadilla into 8 wedges using a sharp knife. Serve with additional taco sauce, cheese, and sour cream on the side for dipping.
