Corn and flour tortillas are a staple in my pantry. I love making quesadillas, enchiladas, tacos, homemade chips with salsa, burritos, etc. Quesadillas are a quick and delicious lunch, and the variations are endless. I made these quesadillas for breakfast just the other day and they were absolutely fantastic.
Buen provecho!
Ingredients
(2 servings)
Cooking Spray or olive oil
4 small corn tortillas
3 scrambled eggs
1 small avocado, peeled and diced
Salt and pepper
1 tomato sliced
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Juice of 1 lime
1 cup shredded monterrey jack cheese
Directions:
1. On a work surface, spread 2 of the tortillas. Spoon half of the scrambled eggs over the bottom of each tortilla. Sprinkle half of the cheese.
2. Top with another tortilla.
3. Heat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray over medium heat. Carefully place 1 quesadilla in pan and cook 2 minutes.
4. Using a spatula, gently flip the quesadilla and cook an additional 2 minutes until lightly browned and the cheese is melted. Repeat with second quesadilla.
5. In a small bowl: mix the avocado, cilantro, lime juice, salt and pepper. Top the quesadillas with tomato slices and avocado mixture. Serve immediately with your favorite salsa.

What a great way to kick off a (Monday) morning!
I made it yesterday for dinner and it was a hit!
These breakfast quesadillas sound like just the thing to get me out of bed in the morning! Delicious!
I always love all your quesadilla and this one looks just as scrumptious! Yummy with the avocados!
what a unique and satisfying way to start the day!
Erica, I stumbled on this from Poor Man’s Feast and have to say what a lovely job you did with it. I love eggs with tortillas, and have been playing around with a fried-egg quesadilla myself, so this is perfect inspiration.
I love that avocado tomato salsa on top!
