How to Prepare:

1. Whisk and mix:
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, 1 tablespoon of salsa verde or hot sauce, and a pinch of salt. Stir in the black beans for added protein and flavor.

2. Cook the eggs:
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring frequently, until just set. The eggs will continue to cook in the next step, so don’t overdo it. Transfer the cooked eggs to a bowl, stir in half the scallions and half the cilantro, and wipe out the skillet.

3. Assemble the quesadillas:
If your skillet is large enough, add 2 tablespoons of butter and heat over medium. Otherwise, prepare one quesadilla at a time with 1 tablespoon of butter.
Place one tortilla in the skillet, then evenly spread the cooked eggs over it. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar on top, then top with the second tortilla.

4. Grill to golden:
Cook until the bottom tortilla is lightly browned, about 2-3 minutes. Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook the other side until golden and the cheese is melted.

5. Serve and garnish:
Top each quesadilla with a dollop of sour cream, an extra splash of salsa verde or hot sauce, chopped cilantro, scallions, and pickled jalapeños for that perfect spicy kick.
