Ingredients

  • 4 whole wheat flour tortillas 8-inch
  • 4 large eggs beaten
  • 1 can black beans 15 oz, drained and rinsed
  • 2 cups fresh baby spinach
  • 1 can mild diced green chiles 4 oz, drained
  • 1½ cups Monterey Jack cheese shredded
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoon neutral oil divided
  • 2 tablespoon cilantro for serving

Notes

  • Storage: Cool completely before freezing. Place parchment between wedges and freeze in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months.
  • Reheating: Reheat straight from frozen in a skillet over medium-low to medium heat for 2–3 minutes per side, until crisp and heated through.
  • Make ahead: Refrigerate cooked quesadillas for up to 4 days.
  • Freezer tip: Freeze the quesadillas flat first, then stack them once frozen to prevent them from sticking together.
  • Filling tip: Crush about half the black beans before combining them with the eggs. This helps distribute the filling evenly and makes the quesadillas easier to cut after reheating.
  • Tortilla tip: Use 8-inch flour tortillas. Whole-wheat tortillas work well; avoid corn tortillas because they can crack after freezing.
  • Reheating tip: For the crispiest texture, use a skillet rather than the microwave alone.
