Spinach Whole Wheat Quesadillas

Ingredients

  • 4 whole wheat tortillas
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, washed and roughly chopped
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella work wonderfully)
  • 1/2 cup cooked black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a pan over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once heated, add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add the minced garlic and chopped spinach to the pan. Sauté until the spinach wilts, approximately 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the spinach mixture with the cooked black beans and shredded cheese. Mix well to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
  4. Heat another pan (or use the same, just wipe it clean) over medium heat. Place one whole wheat tortilla in the pan.
  5. Spread a generous amount of the spinach and cheese mixture on half of the tortilla, folding it over to form a half-moon shape.
  6. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese has melted. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
  7. Once cooked, remove from the heat and let cool slightly before slicing into wedges. Serve warm with your favorite salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
