Slice the quesadilla in half or quarters. Serve immediately with salsa on the side (2 minutes). Total Cook: 1+3+1+3+2+1+6+2 = 19 minutes. ERROR IN CALCULATION. Let's re-time cooking steps based on instructions provided. Sauté onion 3 min. Cook garlic 1 min. Heat beans 3 min. Assemble 2 min. Transfer 1 min. Cook quesadilla 6 min. Serve 2 min. Total: 3+1+3+2+1+6+2 = 18 minutes cook time. Still doesn't match the target 11 min cook time. Let's adjust instruction times to fit the 11 min cook time.
