Cooking Steps
Drain and rinse the mixed beans. Pop into a bowl and roughly mash with the back of a fork or a potato masher.Trim the spring onions then slice thinly. Grate the cheddar cheese. Add the spring onion, cheese, chipotle paste and tomato puree to the beans.Season with salt, pepper and a pinch of sugar. Mix well.
Lay the tortillas out on a board.Spread a little of the bean mix over half of each, leaving a small border round the edge, then fold the tortillas in half to make half moon shapes.Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.
When hot, carefully lay the quesadillas in the pan. Fry until golden, 2 mins each side. Turn carefully.Lightly press down on the tortillas with a spatula to ensure they stick together and brown nicely.TIP: You may have to do this in batches, adding a little more oil to the pan each time - just cover the cooked quesadillas with foil to keep warm.
While the quesadillas are frying, slice lengthways into the avocado. Once you reach the stone turn the avocado around to cut it in half. Twist each half and pull it apart. Remove the stone then scoop out the insides onto a board. Roughly chop the avocado.Halve the tomatoes.
In a large bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar with the olive oil (see ingredients for amount).Season with salt and pepper.Add the rocket, tomatoes and avocado and toss gently.
Serve the quesadillas alongside plenty of rocket salad.Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: The chipotle bean filling is well-seasoned and satisfying, though some find it on the spicier side and suggest using less paste for a milder result.
- Ease of prep: Quick and straightforward to put together, with several reviewers noting it comes together in around 15 minutes from prep to plate.
- Suggestions: Add extra cheese on top before folding, or keep it separate from the bean mix so it melts more visibly; a spoonful of sour cream, fresh coriander, or a squeeze of lime can lift the filling further. Warming the bean mixture before frying helps ensure the filling is heated through without over-browning the tortilla.
- Next-day meals: Leftovers keep well and make a great packed lunch the following day, though sour cream is best used fresh rather than stored alongside.
- Portions: Some reviewers found the filling a little sparse and bulked it out with extra beans, roasted vegetables, or a side of wedges to make it more substantial.
- Salad: The rocket and balsamic dressing divides opinion; some enjoyed it as a fresh contrast, while others preferred swapping it for a tomato salsa, guacamole, or a mixed-leaf alternative.
