INGREDIENTS
1 medium Whole Wheat Tortilla (~50g)
1/2 cup Black Beans, drained (~130g)
1/4 cup Reduced-Fat Cheddar Cheese (~28g)
1/4 cup diced Red Bell Pepper (~38g)
1/4 cup diced Onion (~40g)
1/4 cup Mild Salsa (~62g)
4 large Egg Whites (~120g)
Olive Oil Cooking Spray
PREPARATION
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat with olive oil cooking spray.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg whites until slightly frothy.
Add the diced red bell pepper and onion to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.
Stir in the black beans and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until heated through.
Pour in the egg whites and gently scramble with the vegetables until just set, then remove from heat.
Lay the whole wheat tortilla flat and evenly spread the scrambled mixture over one half of the tortilla.
Sprinkle reduced-fat cheddar cheese on top of the filling, then drizzle with mild salsa.
Fold the tortilla in half over the filling.
Place the folded quesadilla back onto the skillet and grill for 2-3 minutes per side, until the tortilla is crispy and the cheese is melted.
Remove from heat, slice into wedges, and serve warm.
