A spicy baked bean wrap recipe

Quesadillas are a really tasty way to turn wraps into a great lunch and guess what, it is really easy to make a quesadilla in a toasted sandwich maker.

Now, baked beans are also a great food choice and go really well in a toastie so I thought to myself “Carl, I bet a baked bean quesadilla will taste great.” and guess what, I was right. Yeah me!

But at the same time I wanted to take it up a notch in heat and flavour so with some leftover bell pepper and cajun spice mix I was able to create this fab quesadilla.

Additionally, this recipe was created entirely from left overs from the previous nights Mexican meal and my sons baked beans and baked potato lunch from the day before. It even used up left over grated cheese.

Baked Beans

The star of this dish are the baked beans. Not content with just being a super food they are also a great toastie ingredient and they take on the cajun flavours in this dish really well while still giving you a good punch of fibre to fill you up until dinner time.

Cheddar Cheese

A strong flavoured cheddar compliments the sweet and spicy beans brilliantly.

Bell Peppers

Bell Peppers are a traditional quesadilla filling providing a really good crunch to the dish as well as a some fresh sweet flavour. I used red and yellow but green would work too.

Cajun Seasoning

This is the second key ingredient to this dish and provides a wonderful Cajun spice to the bean filling that takes this from a plain baked bean quesadilla to something a bit special.

In case you are wondering Cajun seasoning is made up of cayenne pepper, paprika, onion, garlic and a few herbs. The Cajun flavour heralds from Louisiana in the South West United State and forms a key part of Creole cooking.
