Quesadillas aren’t known for being the healthiest food, but you can jazz them up and make them a big better for you with the addition of white beans and spinach! These quesadillas are super flavorful, have a lot of great textures, and the best part is that they cook up in just minutes.
Ingredients
For this recipe, you will need tortillas, fully cooked white beans, spinach, and the cheese of your liking. If you want to use frozen spinach, thaw it and try to get out as much water as possible.
Recipe
- In a bowl, put in the cooked white beans. Use 4 oz of beans for every tortilla that will make each quesadilla. Mash the beans until they form a nice paste.
- Chop up spinach and add it to a bowl with the beans, along with cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and salt.
- Mix everything well and then add it into a tortilla along with whatever cheese you want to use. Fold it over so it makes a half circle shape and make sure the spread is even throughout the tortilla and none is falling out of the sides.
- Heat up olive oil in a pan over medium-high eat, put the tortillas in the pan and cook on each side for a few minutes until golden brown.
- Serve with salsa or guacamole and enjoy!
