Ingredients

  • 10 large eggs
  • 1 TBSP milk
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 TBPS extra virgin olive oil
  • 5 cups lightly packed spinach, chopped (roughly 4 oz)
  • 1 (15 oz) can reduced sodium white beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/5 cups grated cheese of your choice (cheddar, Swiss, Mozzarella, etc)
  • 8 medium whole wheat tortillas

Directions

  1.  In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, garlic powder, and pepper.
  2.  Add the olive oil to a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the spinach and cook until it begins to wilt. Add the beans and reduce heat to medium low then pour in the egg mixture.
  3.  With a rubber spatula, cook the eggs low and slow and move them around often until they are scrambled. Remove from heat. If freezing, let the eggs cool completely
  4. Sprinkle a tortilla with 1/8th of the shredded cheese. Spoon 1/8th of the egg mixture on top, then fold in half. Repeat with remaining tortillas
  5. To cook, carefully wipe out the skillet. Raise the heat to medium and lightly coat the skillet with nonstick spray. Cook the quesadilla until golden on both sides and cheese is melted.
  6. To freeze: Let the eggs cool completely. Once cooled, form the quesadillas as directed then wrap each one individually in plastic wrap. Place the quesadillas in freezer keeping them in a freezer bag or airtight container. To cook from frozen: warm the quesadilla in microwave for 2-3 minutes or until heated through. You may also let them thaw overnight and then prepare in a skillet the next morning.
