½ courgette – chopped small

225g (1 cup) spinach

1 tbsp olive oil

100g (½ cup) grated mozzarella

2 wholemeal tortilla wraps

1. In a large pan, heat the olive oil on medium heat. Add the garlic, courgettes, spinach, and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until the courgettes begin to soften.

5. Transfer to a cutting board or plate, cut in half and enjoy!

Why Breakfast Quesadillas are good for you  

Eggs are a healthy source of protein. Protein is an important part of a balanced diet and is key to building and maintaining all types of body tissue, including muscle. 

Courgettes and spinach are non-starchy vegetables that are rich in carotenoids. Eating non-starchy vegetables and carotenoid-rich vegetables may decrease the risk of breast cancer.
