Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with foil and coat with the cooking spray.
Arrange 4 tortillas in a single layer on the prepared pan. Spread the mashed Randall Pinto Beans onto the tortillas. Divide the cheese among the tortillas. Top with the remaining tortillas and lightly coat tortilla tops with cooking spray.
Bake 10–12 minutes, until the tortillas are golden brown and crisp around the edges, flipping them once halfway through the cooking time. Cut the quesadillas into wedges. Serve with the salsa.
