Simple Breakfast Quesadillas

Print Recipe

Quick and cozy breakfast quesadillas packed with protein-rich eggs and savory beans, perfect for the whole family.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 eggs
  • Hot sauce, such as Cholula
  • Pinch of salt
  • ⅓ cup cooked pinto beans or black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 2 teaspoons butter or extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon chopped green onion
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon chopped pickled jalapeño (optional)
  • 1 medium (8”) whole grain tortilla
  • ½ cup (packed) grated sharp cheddar cheese
  • Salsa or additional hot sauce for serving

Instructions

  1. Whisk the eggs in a bowl with hot sauce and a pinch of salt until blended. Gently fold in the rinsed beans and set aside.
  2. Heat butter in a medium skillet over medium heat until bubbly. Pour in the egg mixture and stir frequently until just set, about 1 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in green onion, cilantro, and jalapeño.
  3. In a separate large skillet, warm the tortilla over medium heat, flipping occasionally. Sprinkle half of the cheese over one side, layer on the scrambled eggs, then the remaining cheese. Fold the tortilla over and press gently.
  4. Cook until golden and crispy, about 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board, let cool for a minute, slice, and serve hot with salsa or hot sauce.

Notes

For extra crispiness, use a cast iron skillet.
