breakfast quesadilla

I love breakfast. Eggs, bacon, toast, french toast, pancakes, cereal, waffles, yogurt... everything. But lately I've been needing things that will keep me full longer. This breakfast quesadilla is protein packed with eggs, so I can eat one of these breakfast quesadillas and be full until lunch. These days, that is a success.

The breakfast quesadilla is super-easy to make too! I just grab 2 tortillas (I like whole wheat, but feel free to use whatever kind you prefer), scramble two eggs, cook some bacon, cut up some green onion, shred some cheese, and then put it all together.

Ingredients:

  • Eggs
  • Bacon
  • Green onions
  • Shredded cheddar cheese
  • Tortillas
  • Butter
  • Olive oil
  • Salsa or avocado (optional)

Tips and tricks:

  • Instead of cooking one tortilla on top of another.. the way a regular quesadilla is made, I like to just use one quesadilla for each and fold it in half. I find it is MUCH easier to flip that way. Less chance of those precious breakfast quesadilla ingredients falling out!
  • I don't specify what type of cheese to use in this recipe, so use whatever you like that will be nice and melty! Monterey jack and cheddar both work great. I'd stay away from parmesan and mozzarella. I use a sharp cheddar cheese when I make this.
  • I drizzled mine with Herdez Guacamole Salsa. I love that stuff! Would be great with just some avocado, guacamole, or regular salsa too.
