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