How to make Speedy Cheesy Egg & Black Bean Quesadilla
- Thoroughly rinse 1/4 cup of canned black beans under cold water and drain well. In a small bowl, whisk 2 large eggs with 1/8 teaspoon salt and a pinch of black pepper until well combined.
- Heat 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil or butter in a medium non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the whisked eggs and scramble gently, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 minutes until just set but still soft. Remove the scrambled eggs from the skillet and set aside.
- Wipe the skillet clean if necessary and add the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil or butter. Increase the heat to medium.
- Place one 8-10 inch flour tortilla into the hot skillet. Sprinkle half of the 1/2 cup shredded cheese evenly over one entire half of the tortilla.
- On that same half, layer the scrambled eggs and the rinsed black beans over the cheese. Sprinkle the remaining half of the 1/2 cup shredded cheese over the eggs and beans.
- Using a spatula, carefully fold the empty half of the tortilla over the filling, creating a crescent shape.
- Cook the quesadilla for 2-3 minutes on the first side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the second side until it is also golden brown and crisp.
- Remove the quesadilla from the skillet, transfer to a cutting board, and let it rest for 1 minute before slicing it into wedges.
- Serve the Speedy Cheesy Egg & Black Bean Quesadilla hot with your favorite toppings such as salsa, sour cream, or sliced avocado, if desired.
