Kid-Friendly Recipe: Black Bean and Spinach Quesadillas | goop

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: low-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: monterey jack

Low-fat cheese reduces calories while maintaining flavor.

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Greek yogurt adds creaminess with fewer calories.

jalapeños

🥗Healthier: bell peppers

💰Cheaper: banana peppers

Bell peppers are milder and more affordable.

tortillas

🥗Healthier: whole wheat tortillas

💰Cheaper: corn tortillas

Whole wheat adds fiber, while corn is often cheaper.

Take one tortilla and place about a quarter cup of organic refried black beans on one half.

Sprinkle a generous quarter cup of shredded Jack cheese on the other half of the tortilla.

Warm the tortilla on medium heat to achieve a crispy exterior and melted cheese.

Add a handful of fresh spinach and fold the tortilla over.

Cook until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is crispy, then cut into wedges.

Serve with toppings like guacamole, pico de gallo, fresh tomato, onion, cilantro, tomatillo salsa verde, and roasted tomato adobo salsa.
