Instructions
- Smash black beans and salsa together. Add in any optional flavor enhancers—lime juice, cumin, and/or cilantro.
- Small dice the onion and bell pepper. Heat oil over medium in a large nonstick pan. Saute peppers and onions until soft, about 2-3 minutes. Add spinach to wilt. Remove veggies from pan and set aside.
- Add tortilla to pan. On one half of the tortilla sprinkle half the cheese down as a base layer, top with sautéed veggies, add the remaining cheese, and fold the other half of the tortilla over it all. Heat through until cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes, flipping over halfway.
- Remove from pan, slice into wedges, serve with dip and enjoy!
