SCRAMBLED EGG QUESADILLAS



Scrambled Egg Quesadillas image

I had some flour tortillas to use up one day and decided to make some breakfast quesadillas. It's now one of my husband's favorites. I haven't made it for my grandkids yet, but I'll bet they will like it too. I don't always use the bacon, since we also enjoy these tortillas with just the eggs and lots of hot sauce.

Time 15m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 flour tortillas
3 eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons milk
1/4 teaspoon hot sauce (I like Chalula brand)
2 slices bacon
1/4 cup cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon butter
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, cook the bacon until crisp. Remove and drain on paper towel, then crumble. Set aside.
  • Beat the eggs adding the milk and hot sauce.
  • In another small skillet, heat the butter over medium low heat and when hot, scramble the eggs, cooking until soft and creamy.
  • Lay out 1 tortilla. Top with the cooked eggs, the bacon and the cheese.
  • Place the second tortilla on top of the filling.
  • Reheat the bacon fat in the first skillet over medium heat. Place the filled tortilla in the skillet, cooking for about 1 minute.
  • Flip the tortilla with a large spatula and cook the other side until browned and crispy, about 1 more minute.
  • Remove from heat and cut the tortilla like a pizza into wedges.
  • Serve with more hot sauce, or salsa.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh eggs, chorizo, and vegetables will give your quesadilla the best flavor.
  • Cook the chorizo until it is crispy: This will help to render out the fat and give the chorizo a delicious flavor.
  • Use a good quality cheese: A sharp cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese will melt well and give your quesadilla a gooey, flavorful center.
  • Don't overcook the eggs: Scrambled eggs should be cooked until they are just set, but still slightly runny.
  • Serve the quesadilla immediately: This will help to prevent the tortilla from getting soggy.

Conclusion:

Scrambled egg and chorizo quesadillas are a quick and easy meal that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover chorizo. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious quesadilla that the whole family will enjoy.
