Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 4 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 cup (120g) shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper jack)
- ½ cup (75g) cooked bacon, sausage, or ham (optional)
- ½ cup (60g) diced bell peppers
- ¼ cup (30g) chopped onions
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the fillings: Cook bacon, sausage, or ham (if using). Sauté diced onions and bell peppers in a pan until softened.
- Scramble the eggs: In the same pan, add butter and pour in the beaten eggs. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook until just set.
- Assemble the quesadilla: Place a tortilla on a heated skillet. Sprinkle cheese over half of the tortilla, then add scrambled eggs, cooked protein, and sautéed veggies.
- Fold & cook: Fold the tortilla in half and press gently. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side over medium heat until golden brown and crispy.
- Slice & serve: Remove from heat, let it cool slightly, then cut into triangles. Serve with salsa, sour cream, or guacamole.
Notes
- Don’t overfill the quesadilla to prevent spillage when flipping.
- Use a non-stick pan or a lightly greased skillet for best results.
- For extra crispiness, press the quesadilla down with a spatula while cooking.
- Customize your fillings with spinach, mushrooms, or black beans for variety.
- Reheat leftovers in a skillet or air fryer to maintain crispness.
