Ingredients

  • 1 (16 oz) tube Jennie-O Lean Mild Turkey Breakfast Sausage Roll
  • 1/2 cup yellow onion diced
  • 1/4 cup red bell pepper diced
  • 1/4 cup green bell pepper diced
  • 1/2 cup mushrooms sliced (I used pre-sliced mushrooms)
  • 8 large eggs whisked
  • 1 (15 oz) can black beans drained, rinsed, and seasoned with salt
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese I used non fat
  • 8 whole grain burrito sized tortillas

Optional toppings

  • Cilantro
  • Green onion
  • non fat plain greek yogurt
  • hot sauce
  • salsa
  • tomato
  • avocado

Instructions

  • In a large skillet, cook sausage over medium heat, breaking it up as you go along, until it's no longer pink. Remove and set aside.
  • Spray the same pan with cooking spray and cook onions, peppers, and mushrooms until tender. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • Again, spray the same pan with cooking spray and lower heat to medium/low.
  • Use a rubber spatula to cook scrambled eggs until just a little shine remains. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.

Assemble & Serve

  • Place one tortilla on a clean work surface.
  • On half of the tortilla, place 2 tablespoons EACH of: cheese, black beans, eggs (drizzle with a little hot sauce if you like), sausage, and veggies.
  • Fold the tortilla in half.
  • Heat a clean skillet over medium heat.
  • Place tortilla on hot skillet and cook until golden brown. Flip and heat the other side until golden brown.
  • Remove from heat and repeat with remaining tortillas.
  • Cut in half and serve with additional toppings!

To Freeze

  • Assemble quesadillas as directed above, but don’t heat the assembled quesadillas.
  • Instead, cut the quesadillas in half and wrap each assembled quesadilla individually in plastic wrap.
  • Arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet/or dinner plate.
  • Place the sheet in freezer until the quesadillas are firm.
  • Transfer each quesadilla to a freezer bag or airtight container. Freeze for up to 2 months.
  • When ready to cook, remove plastic wrap and warm in microwave! OR Thaw in fridge overnight and cook them in the skillet as directed above.
