2.In a medium bowl, combine beans and rice. Spoon the bean mixture over half of each tortilla and sprinkle with cheese. Fold over to enclose.

3.In a large non-stick frying pan, heat half the oil over medium heat; cook the quesadillas 2 minutes each side or until brown and crisp. Set aside; cover to keep warm.

4.Heat remaining oil in same pan over low heat; cook eggs 3 minutes or until cooked how you like them.
