We investigate the low-energy quantum transport in the ballistic normal metal-insulator -superconductor junction in the presence of magnetic field creating Abrikosov vortices in the superconductor. Within the Bogolubov- de Gennes theory we show that the presence of the subgap quasiparticle states localized within the vortex cores near the junction interface leads to the strong resonant enhancement of the Andreev reflection probability, and the normal-to supercurrent conversion. The corresponding increase of the charge conductance of the junction is determined by the distance from the vortex chain to the junction interface, which can be controlled by the applied magnetic field. The effect that we study provides a tool for probing the vortex core states by the measurements of charge transport across the applied magnetic field.
