Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 4 whole wheat tortillas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by draining and rinsing black beans, chopping spinach, and shredding cheese if not pre-shredded.
- Crack eggs into a medium mixing bowl, whisk thoroughly with salt and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Pour whisked eggs into the heated skillet, using a spatula to gently scramble and fold eggs until they are soft and just set, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add chopped spinach to the scrambled eggs and stir until spinach begins to wilt, about 1 minute.
- Remove egg and spinach mixture from skillet and set aside on a plate.
- In the same skillet, place a whole wheat tortilla and sprinkle half of the shredded cheese on one side of the tortilla.
- Layer scrambled egg and spinach mixture, black beans, and remaining cheese on the same side of the tortilla.
- Fold the tortilla in half, creating a half-moon shape, and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
- Repeat process with remaining tortillas and filling.
- Remove quesadillas from skillet, let cool for 1-2 minutes, then slice into wedges and serve immediately.
Tips
- * Make sure to cook the scrambled eggs until they're just set, as they'll continue to cook a bit after being removed from the skillet. * Don't overfill the tortillas, as this can make them difficult to fold and cook evenly. * Use high-quality, whole wheat tortillas to add extra fiber and nutrition to your dish. * Experiment with different types of cheese, such as pepper jack or cheddar, for a unique flavor twist. * Consider prep-cooking the black beans and spinach mixture ahead of time to make the assembly process even quicker.
