recipe

  • Step 1
    In a bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt.
  • Step 2
    Thinly slice the scallions.
  • Step 3
    Melt a dab of butter in a nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Add half the scallions & cook for 1-2 min, then add the eggs. Cook, stirring often, until the eggs are scrambled, about 2-3 min. Remove from the heat.
  • Step 4
    Spread the refried pinto beans over half the tortilla, then place in a separate large frying pan, bean side up. Warm over medium heat, 1-2 min.
  • Step 5
    When the tortilla is warm, sprinkle the bean side with half the shredded cheese. Layer the scrambled eggs on top, then sprinkle with the remaining shredded cheese.
  • Step 6
    Close the quesadilla by pressing the empty side over the toppings. Cook for 1-2 min, then flip & cook for another 1-2 min, until the quesadilla is golden & crispy, with melty cheese.
  • Step 7
    Remove from the heat & transfer the quesadilla to a cutting board. Slice into triangles, then garnish with the remaining scallions & a sprig of fresh cilantro (optional). Serve with pico de gallo (optional). Enjoy!
