How to Make Spinach And Black Bean Quesadillas

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1-2 finely chopped jalapeños (adjust to your spice preference) and sauté until softened, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add 1 (15-ounce) can of black beans, rinsed and mashed, to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute.
  4. Stir in 5 ounces fresh spinach until wilted and incorporated.
  5. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
  6. Season with 1 teaspoon five-spice powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
  7. Lay out 6 large flour tortillas on a clean surface. Divide the bean mixture evenly among the tortillas, spreading it within a 1/2-inch border from the edges.
  8. Brush the edges of each tortilla with 1 tablespoon beaten egg.
  9. Top each filled tortilla with another tortilla, pressing gently to seal the edges.
  10. Preheat oven to 200°F (93°C).
  11. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brush both sides of each quesadilla with 1/2 teaspoon olive oil.
  12. Cook each quesadilla for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  13. Transfer cooked quesadillas to a baking sheet and keep warm in the preheated oven while you cook the remaining quesadillas.
  14. Serve immediately, whole or cut into wedges. Enjoy!
