Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large flour tortillas
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 cup Black beans
- 1 medium, diced Bell pepper
- 0.5 medium, diced Red onion
- 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Baby spinach
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Salsa
- 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced bell pepper and red onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the black beans to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes until warmed through. Remove the mixture from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the scrambled egg mixture and cook, stirring gently, for 2-3 minutes until the eggs are just set. Stir in the baby spinach and cook for 1 minute until wilted. Remove from heat.
Wipe the skillet clean and heat 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Place one flour tortilla in the skillet.
Sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over one half of the tortilla. Top with a portion of the egg and vegetable mixture, then another 1/4 cup of cheese.
Fold the tortilla in half to cover the filling and press gently with a spatula. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the tortilla is golden and the cheese is melted.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling, adding more olive oil to the skillet as needed.
Slice each quesadilla into wedges and serve hot with salsa and sour cream on the side.
