To prepare the quesadillas

Take one roti, spread a spoonful of the mashed beans over it pressing down lightly with a spoon.
Next spread some of the prepared sauce on the beans.
Layer with grated cheese, place another roti on this. press down lightly to seal.
Heat a griddle, smear with a little oil.
Place one quesadillas on the hot griddle.
Let cook for a bit, flip over.
Cook the other side, pressing down lightly.
Smear with a little oil. let cook until brown spots appear on both sides. (the melting cheese along with the gentle pressure shall seal the quesadillas together.)
