Ingredients

Scale
  • 🌯 Tortilla & Fillings
  • 1 large flour tortilla (or whole wheat)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or blend)
  • 2 slices cooked bacon, crumbled (or diced ham/sausage)
  • 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup diced onions
  • 1/4 avocado
  • 🥣 Sauces
  • 2 tablespoons salsa
  • 1 tablespoon sour cream
  • Hot sauce, to taste​

Instructions

  1. Whisk the Eggs
    In a bowl, combine the eggs and milk. Whisk until the mixture is frothy to ensure fluffy scrambled eggs.

  2. Scramble the Eggs
    Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring gently, until just set. Remove from heat; they will cook further inside the quesadilla.

  3. Prepare the Tortilla
    Place the tortilla on a flat surface. Imagine it divided into four quadrants. Make a cut from the center to the bottom edge, allowing for easy folding.

  4. Layer the Fillings
    Distribute the fillings as follows:

    • Bottom left: Scrambled eggs

    • Top left: Shredded cheese

    • Top right: Crumbled bacon

    • Bottom right: Diced tomatoes, onions, avocado slices, and sauces​

    • Fold the Quesadilla
      Starting from the bottom left quadrant, fold it over the top left, then over the top right, and finally down to the bottom right, forming a layered triangle.

  5. Cook Until Crispy
    Heat a lightly greased skillet over medium heat. Place the folded quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy​

Notes

  • Cheese as a Binder: The cheese acts as a glue, holding the quesadilla together. Ensure it’s evenly distributed for the best results.
  • Heat Control: Cooking on medium-low heat prevents the tortilla from burning before the cheese melts.
  • Pressing: Gently pressing the quesadilla with a spatula helps seal the layers and achieve a uniform crispiness.
  • Make-Ahead Tips: Prepare multiple quesadillas, wrap them in foil, and refrigerate. Reheat in a skillet or air fryer for a quick meal.
  • Freezing: Wrap uncooked quesadillas in parchment paper and store in a freezer bag for up to 1 month.​
