Ingredients
  

1 head of garlic

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 can (15 oz) white beans, drained and rinsed

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 cup shredded cheese (such as mozzarella or Monterey Jack)

4 large flour tortillas

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Salsa or guacamole, for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Roast the Garlic:

    - Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

      - Slice the top off the whole head of garlic to expose the cloves. Drizzle with olive oil and wrap in aluminum foil.

        - Roast in the oven for about 30-40 minutes until the cloves are golden and soft. Set aside to cool.

          Prepare the Bean Mixture:

            - In a mixing bowl, combine the drained white beans, roasted garlic cloves (squeezed out of their skins), ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice.

              - Mash the mixture with a fork or a potato masher until it's mostly smooth but still has some texture.

                Assemble the Quesadillas:

                  - Place one tortilla in a large skillet over medium heat.

                    - Spread half of the bean mixture evenly over the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.

                      - Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese on top of the bean mixture and cover with another tortilla.

                        Cook the Quesadillas:

                          - Cook for about 3-5 minutes or until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and the cheese starts to melt. Carefully flip the quesadilla using a large spatula and cook the other side for an additional 3-5 minutes until golden and crispy.

                            - Remove from heat and let it cool for a minute before slicing into wedges.

                              Serve:

                                - Repeat the assembly and cooking process for the remaining tortillas and filling.

                                  - Serve the quesadilla wedges garnished with fresh cilantro and with salsa or guacamole on the side for dipping.
