Breakfast Quesadillas

Ingredients

  • scrambled eggs, see below for recipe link
  • cooked bacon, rough chopped
  • flour tortillas
  • Mexican style shredded cheese
  • salsa, optional topping (see below for recipe)
  • sour cream, optional topping (see below for recipe)

Instructions

  • Heat a medium sized skilled over medium heat.
  • Place one tortilla into the skillet. Add a layer of cheese, then a layer of scrambled eggs, then a layer of chopped bacon. Top with a final layer of shredded cheese.
  • Place a second tortilla on top of the egg and cheese layers. Cook until the bottom layer tortilla is golden brown. With a spatula, carefully flip the quesadilla. Cook the remaining side until golden brown.
  • Put the quesadilla onto a cutting board and let cool for 3-4 minutes, then quarter. Serve warm with a side of salsa and sour cream.

Notes

This is a basic recipe without measurements to allow you to make as many or few quesadillas as needed. I typically account 2 eggs and 2 slices of bacon per person for this recipe. If you want to get fancy with the quesadilla filling, consider adding slices of avocado or sautéed bell peppers and onions. For homemade salsa check out Hatch Green Chile and Tomatillo Salsa or Tomato and Cilantro Salsa. For a scrambled eggs, click here. For a unique sour cream (Spicy Lime!) recipe, click here.
