This version is packed with flavor; bacon and cheddar lend a rich and salty punch, and jalapeno and arugula brighten up the finished plate.

If you can find a sprouted grain tortilla (like this one, called Food for Life - Ezekiel 4:9 Sprouted Flourless Tortillas ), you'll increase the protein of this breakfast even more. Give it a try!

Ingredients:

- 1 slice of bacon
- 1 large egg
- 3 tbsp canned black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1/4 tsp cumin (or to taste)
- kosher salt and fresh-ground black pepper
- 1/2 a small jalapeño
- 1 medium (8-inch) tortilla (a regular flour tortilla will work fine, and if you're feeling adventurous, try out a whole-grain sprouted tortilla like this one .)
- 1/2 an oz. of sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup baby arugula


Instructions:

To Prep:
--
1. Remove the stem and seeds from the jalapeño and thinly slice it.
2. Grate your cheddar cheese.
3. In a medium bowl, beat the egg with a pinch of salt.

To Cook:
--
1. Put the bacon in a large nonstick skillet and cook over medium heat until crisp, about 6 minutes. Blot bacon with a paper towel, chop and set aside.

2. Wipe out the pan and return it to medium heat. Add the egg, beans, cumin, salt and pepper, and cook, scrambling the egg and stirring everything with a rubber spatula, until the egg is just set, 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

3. Spritz the pan with cooking spray and place the tortilla in the pan. Sprinkle evenly with the cheese. Spread the bacon, egg mixture and arugula evenly over the half of the tortilla closest to you. Cook until the cheese has melted, about 2 minutes. Add the jalapeno, if desired. Fold quesadilla in half and transfer it to a cutting board. Cut into 3 wedges and serve.
