If your salsa is already made, this bean-cheese-spinach (use frozen spinach) combo takes 10 minutes to fix.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed, mashed with a fork

  • 2 whole-wheat tortillas (8-inch)

  • ½ cup thawed frozen spinach, squeezed dry

  • ½ cup shredded, reduced-fat pepper-jack cheese (2 ounces)

  • Coarse salt and ground pepper

  • ½ cup fresh salsa, for serving

Directions

  1. Spread beans over half of each tortilla. Top with spinach and cheese; season generously with salt and pepper. Fold tortillas in half over fillings.

  2. When it's time to eat, place quesadillas on a microwave-safe plate; cook on high power until heated through, about 2 minutes. Top with salsa.

Cook's Notes

Night before: Assemble the quesadillas, place in a portable container, and put in the fridge. Using frozen spinach saves on cooking time.
