1. Breakfast Egg Quesadillas
Egg quesadillas are an ideal family breakfast before everyone embarks on their summer activities for the day. Nutritious ingredients like spinach and black beans add a rich boost of protein and flavor. With savory eggs, fresh spices, healthy spinach, and melted cheese, your family will likely request these time and again. Thankfully, they come together quickly and easily — but this simplicity doesn't take away from their incredible taste!
To make egg quesadillas with spinach and black beans, pick up the listed ingredients and have a large cast-iron or nonstick skillet ready. The process is straightforward:
Beat and season the eggs in a bowl.
Heat and stir your oil, spinach, and black beans over medium to medium-high heat.
Pour the eggs over your spinach and black beans. Cook this mixture and transfer it to a bowl.
Warm your tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle the cheese over one side.
Pour a quarter of the egg mixture onto the tortilla, then fold the quesadilla in half. Cook both sides until it's crispy and golden brown. Repeat this process with your remaining tortillas and egg mixture.
