Prep the vegetables and beans by rinsing and draining the black beans, draining the corn, and chopping the spinach; in a bowl, mash half the beans with the cumin, garlic powder, and salt.

Keep the knife blade angled away from fingers while chopping the spinach.

Large skillet

Heat the skillet over medium heat and add 1/2 teaspoon olive oil; cook 1 quesadilla for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden, crisp, and the cheese is melted.

Turn the skillet handle inward to help prevent bumps and spills.

Repeat with the remaining quesadillas, adding a little oil each time; let them cool for 1 minute, then cut into wedges and serve with the remaining salsa.

Use a wide spatula and flip gently to keep the hot filling inside.

Let quesadillas cool briefly before serving children, since melted cheese and beans can be very hot.

1/4 cup salsa
