Time 30m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 8

cooking spray
2 (4 ounce) links spicy pork breakfast sausage
3 large eggs
2 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons chopped green onions
salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 (6 inch) flour tortillas
2 tablespoons nacho cheese sauce, or to taste

Steps:

  • Spray a skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-low heat. Add sausages and cook, turning often, until cooked through and browned, 12 to 16 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Remove sausages from the skillet and chop when cool enough to handle.
  • Beat eggs in a small bowl with milk.
  • Spray a small skillet with cooking spray and set over low heat. Add the beaten eggs, green onions, salt, and pepper; cook until edges are set, then gently turn with a spatula until scrambled, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove eggs to a plate and wipe out the skillet with a paper towel.
  • Place 1 tortilla in the skillet over low heat. Top with 1/2 of the nacho cheese sauce, 1/2 of the chopped sausage, and 1/2 of the scrambled eggs. Top with another tortilla and cook, carefully turning once, just until lightly browned on both sides, about 5 minutes. Remove to a plate and repeat to cook remaining quesadilla.

Time 45m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons salted butter, divided
½ medium yellow onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
2 (4 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, chopped
½ cup chicken stock
½ (1 ounce) packet taco seasoning mix
4 large eggs, or more to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers, drained
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
4 (6 inch) corn tortillas
2 tablespoons sour cream, or to taste
2 tablespoons guacamole, or to taste
1 dash hot sauce, or to taste

Steps:

  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat; stir in onion. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add chicken, chicken stock, and taco seasoning; bring to a simmer. Cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and drain, being careful to remove as much liquid as possible, while keeping onions and garlic. Transfer chicken mixture to a plate.
  • Melt remaining butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Whisk eggs in a small bowl with salt and pepper. Pour into the skillet and add chicken mixture, diced tomatoes and chiles, and cilantro; scramble until eggs are set, about 5 minutes. Add an additional beaten egg, if desired. Remove from the heat and add 1/4 cup cheese, stirring until cheese is melted.
  • Place 2 tortillas in a separate, large skillet over low heat. Sprinkle part of the remaining cheese on top and let melt. Spoon 1/2 of the chicken-egg mixture onto each tortilla, sprinkle with remaining cheese, and top with remaining tortillas. Flip carefully and cook on the other side for about 1 minute.
  • Remove from the skillet and place each tortilla on a plate. Slice, garnish with sour cream, guacamole, and hot sauce, and serve.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of fillings to keep your quesadillas interesting. Some popular options include cheese, eggs, beans, vegetables, and meat.
  • Season your fillings generously. Quesadillas can easily become bland if they are not properly seasoned.
  • Use a hot skillet to cook your quesadillas. This will help to create a crispy exterior and prevent the fillings from becoming soggy.
  • Don't overload your quesadillas with fillings. Too much filling will make them difficult to fold and eat.
  • Serve quesadillas with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and cheese.

Conclusion:

Quesadillas are a delicious and versatile breakfast option. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little creativity, you can create endless flavor combinations that will keep you satisfied all morning long.
