Directions

  1. Mix the eggs in a bowl with a fork until the whites and yolks are blended. Season with hot sauce, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Set aside.
  2. Heat the oil in a large cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium to medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add the spinach and cook until wilted. Add the black beans and stir to combine.
  3. Pour the eggs over the spinach and black beans. Cook the eggs just until set, frequently stirring to cook evenly. Transfer the eggs to a bowl. Clean out the skillet.
  4. Take a paper towel and add some oil. Wipe the skillet with the oil. Warm up the skillet for a few minutes and add a tortilla. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the cheese over one half of the tortilla.
  5. Once the cheese begins to melt, add a quarter of the egg, black bean and spinach mixture. Add more cheese if desired. Fold the quesadilla in half. Cook the quesadilla until the one side is crispy and golden brown. Flip it over and cook until the other side is also crispy and golden brown.
  6. Transfer the quesadilla to a cutting board and let it cool for one minute. Cut it into thirds or in half, as desired.
  7. Repeat for the other three quesadillas. Serve each one as they are finished cooking so they don’t become cold. If desired, top with cooked corn, tomatoes and other preferred toppings.
