Lazy tombstone quesadilla for one: Halloween-weekend dinner on one burner and 30 cm of counter

The order: what comes out when

With one free surface you cannot take everything out at once. Each line is one round: out of the fridge or cupboard, onto the board, into the pan, and the counter is free again.

1. Out: beans, chili powder, salt, fork, mug → Waits: mashed beans in mug 1 on the windowsill (2 min)
2. Out: cheese, onion, grater → Board: Slice the onion thin, then grate the cheese onto the board next to it. Scoop both into mug 2. → Waits: cheese and onion in mug 2 on the windowsill (3 min)
3. Out: pan, tortillas → Pan: tortilla 1, mashed beans, cheese and onion, tortilla 2 (3 min)
4. Out: salsa or sour cream → Waits: salsa in mug 1 on the windowsill (3 min)
5. Out: knife → Board: Slide it onto the board and cut it into 6 tall wedges. Tombstones. Done. (1 min)

Ingredients

• half a 400 g can (the half left over from the chili works) canned kidney or black beans, drained · fridge
• 1/2 tsp chili powder · cupboard
• a pinch salt · cupboard
• 40 g, grated cheddar or other melting cheese · fridge
• 1/4 onion or 1 spring onion, thinly sliced (optional) onion or spring onion · fridge
• 2 flour tortillas, 20 cm (8 in) · cupboard
• 1-2 tbsp, to dip salsa or sour cream · fridge

Gear

• One burner: One hob ring or a plug-in single induction burner. Induction needs a pan with a magnetic base.
• One frying pan: 24-26 cm (10 in) across, so a 20 cm (8 in) tortilla lies flat. No oil needed.
• One cutting board: About 30 x 20 cm: the only work surface, and later the serving plate.
• One knife, one fork, a grater, two mugs: Mug 1 is where the beans get mashed; mug 2 holds the cheese and onion until the pan is ready.
