Equipment

  • Medium pan
  • Medium bowl
  • Knife and cutting board

Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbsp onion
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • ½ paprika
  • Pinch of salt and pepper
  • ¼ cup cheddar cheese
  • 2 tbsp black beans
  • 1 tsp butter
  • 1 large tortilla
  • 1 slice tomato
  • ¼ cup spinach
  • 2 tbsp salsa

Instructions
 

  • Start by prepping all of the ingredients because once you start cooking it moves fast. Grate the cheese and set aside, wash and slice the tomato, and chop the onion. Open the can of beans and rinse them under cold water.
    1 tbsp onion, ¼ cup cheddar cheese, 2 tbsp black beans, 1 slice tomato
  • In a small bowl, crack the eggs and add the spices. Whisk until the eggs are well beaten.

  • Warm the pan on medium heat. Once warmed, add the butter and let it melt.
    1 tsp butter
  • When the butter starts to bubble a little add the onions to the pan. Sautee for about 30 seconds then pour in the eggs. Leave them undisturbed for another 30 seconds or so and gently place the tortilla on top. Leave for another 30 seconds.
    2 eggs, 1 tbsp onion, 1 large tortilla
  • Run the edge of a spatula around the edges under the eggs to loosen them, then flip onto the tortilla.
  • Put the black beans in the middle, roughly where you will create a fold. Top with grated cheese, spinach and tomato. Using the spatula, fold the tortilla in half enclosing the fresh ingredients. Cook for 30 seconds or so until the cheese melts.
    ¼ cup cheddar cheese, 2 tbsp black beans, 1 slice tomato, ¼ cup spinach
  • Turn the heat to high, and cook for another 20 seconds. This is to get the tortilla crisp. After 20 seconds flip once again and cook for 20 seconds on the other side. Remove from the pan right away to prevent burning.
  • Serve with a side of salsa.
    2 tbsp salsa
