    Place flour tortillas on a clean work surface. Fill one half of each tortilla with as much refried black beans as you like (if desired, microwave any remaining beans and serve on the side); top with pepper jack cheese . Fold tortillas in half and gently press down to create quesadillas. Heat a drizzle of cooking oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add quesadillas and cover pan with lid; cook, undisturbed, until browned and crispy, 3-5 minutes. Flip quesadillas; cook, uncovered, until browned and crispy, 3-5 minutes more. TIP: If quesadillas are browning too quickly, lower heat!
