Instructions
-
Combine the guacamole ingredients in a small bowl. Mash with a fork until the mixture is well combined and mostly smooth. Set aside.
-
Scramble the eggs in a small bowl. Season with a couple of dashes of hot sauce and a dash of salt.
-
Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the chopped spinach and cook, stirring often, until wilted, about 1 to 2 minutes.
-
Add the black beans to the skillet. Pour in the scrambled eggs and cook, stirring often, until the eggs are just set, about 1 to 3 minutes.
-
Transfer the mixture to a bowl to pause the cooking process.
-
In a large skillet, warm the tortilla over medium heat, flipping occasionally. Once the pan and tortilla are warm, sprinkle one half of the quesadilla with cheese.
-
Top the cheese with scrambled eggs, then top the scrambled eggs with almost 1/4 cup cheese, reserving about 1 tablespoon of cheese for later. Press the empty tortilla to halve over the toppings.
-
Let the bottom side of the quesadilla cook for a minute, then carefully flip the quesadilla with a spatula.
-
Immediately sprinkle the remaining tablespoon of cheese over the hot side of the quesadilla and let it melt as the other side cooks for a couple of minutes.
-
Flip the quesadilla again, and let the cheese sizzle into the quesadilla for a couple of minutes. Use the spatula to get underneath the melty cheese side and flip again.
-
Cook that side for a couple more minutes if necessary, until both sides are a nice, crisp golden brown.
-
Transfer the quesadilla to a cutting board to cool for a few minutes, then slice each quesadilla into 2 slices using a pizza cutter or a very sharp knife.
-
Serve with guacamole.
