QUESADILLA

by

Ingredients:

  • 2 large flour tortillas
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
  • 1/4 cup cooked bacon, sausage, or ham (optional)
  • 1/4 cup diced bell peppers (optional)
  • 1/4 cup spinach or any greens (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil for cooking
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Salsa, sour cream, or avocado for serving (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Cook the Eggs:
    • In a small pan, scramble the eggs. Season with salt and pepper, and set aside.
    • If you’re adding vegetables like bell peppers or spinach, sauté them first, then scramble the eggs in the same pan.
  2. Assemble the Quesadilla:
    • Place one tortilla on a flat surface.
    • Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese over the tortilla, then layer the scrambled eggs on top.
    • Add the cooked bacon, sausage, or ham, if using, and any veggies like sautéed bell peppers or spinach.
    • Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the eggs and place the second tortilla on top to make a sandwich.
  3. Cook the Quesadilla:
    • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter or oil.
    • Place the quesadilla in the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
  4. Serve:
    • Slice the quesadilla into wedges and serve with salsa, sour cream, or avocado on the side.

Tips:

  • Customize with your favorite ingredients like mushrooms, onions, or even jalapeños for a bit of spice.
  • You can also add beans or swap the flour tortillas for whole wheat or gluten-free options.
