A couple of tricks, and this cold summer dish comes together in no time. Before blending, we add ice water to the soup, saving time on chilling. And we bake the bean quesadillas on a baking sheet over high heat so that the portions cook simultaneously. The tortillas crisp up in just a couple of minutes!
