Place @flour tortillas{4%unit} on a clean work surface. Fill one half of each tortilla with as much @refried black beans{32%oz} as you like (if desired, microwave any remaining beans and serve on the side); top with @pepper jack cheese{2%cup}. Fold tortillas in half and gently press down to create quesadillas.
Heat a drizzle of @cooking oil{1%tsp} in a #large pan{} over medium heat. Add quesadillas and cover pan with lid; cook, undisturbed, until browned and crispy, 3-5 minutes.
Flip quesadillas; cook, uncovered, until browned and crispy, 3-5 minutes more. TIP: If quesadillas are browning too quickly, lower heat!

While quesadillas cook, wash and dry produce.
Quarter the @lime{2%unit}.
In a #medium bowl{}, toss @red cabbage and carrot mix{8%oz} with @buttermilk ranch dressing{3%oz}, juice from half the lime, @salt{1%tsp}, and @black pepper{1%tsp} until evenly coated. Set aside until ready to serve, stirring occasionally.

Gently massage @Mexican brown rice{2%unit} in package to separate grains. Partially open package to vent. Microwave for ~{1½%minutes} (for 4 servings, microwave both packages of rice together for 2-3 minutes). TIP: Microwave times may vary. Be careful when handling and opening the package!
Remove from microwave and let rest for ~{30%seconds}.

Cut quesadillas into pieces.
Divide quesadillas, slaw, and rice between plates. Serve with @guacamole{16%tbsp}, @fresh red salsa{8%oz}, @sour cream{9%tbsp}, @hot sauce{4%tsp}, and remaining lime wedges on the side.
