On each tortilla, layer 2 tablespoons of cheddar cheese, 1 tablespoon of seasoned beans, 1 tablespoon of green onion, 2 tablespoons of smoked mozzarella, 1 tablespoon of pico de gallo, and a pinch of kosher salt. Optionally, add a drizzle of hot sauce. Fold each tortilla in half.
Brush the tops with more oil and bake for 8 minutes.

Cut each quesadilla into 3 wedges and serve with cilantro, sour cream, guacamole, and extra pico de gallo for dipping.
