The night before serving, assemble the quesadillas, place in a portable container, and put in the fridge. Using frozen spinach saves on cooking time.

Ingredients

1/2 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed, mashed with a fork
2 whole-wheat tortillas (8-inch)
1/2 cup thawed frozen spinach, squeezed dry
1/2 cup shredded, reduced-fat pepper-jack cheese (2 ounces)
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1/2 cup fresh salsa, for serving

Directions

Spread beans over half of each tortilla. Top with spinach and cheese; season generously with salt and pepper. Fold tortillas in half over fillings.
When it's time to eat, place quesadillas on a microwave-safe plate; cook on high power until heated through, about 2 minutes. Top with salsa.
