  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the spinach and sauté until wilted. Add the black beans and cooked quinoa, stirring to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the eggs into the skillet with the quinoa mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are scrambled and fully cooked.

For an extra kick, add a dash of hot sauce to the filling. Warm tortillas before filling to prevent cracking.
