- 8 whole grain burrito sized tortillas
Optional toppings
- Cilantro

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.
