SPICY BEEF QUESADILLAS



Spicy Beef Quesadillas image

A Pillsbury recipe. Very good indeed. I used corn right off the cob, green onions from the garden and added the sour cream to the filling before I made the quesadilla. I did use just a little more cumin and chill powder than called for but I like those two flavors together. I also spray the outside of my quesadillas with cooking spray so they get nice and crispy.

Categories     100+ Breakfast and Brunch Recipes     Eggs     Breakfast Sandwich Recipes

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.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh corn kernels. If using frozen corn, thaw it completely before using.
  • Be sure to drain the corn well before adding it to the quesadillas. This will help prevent the quesadillas from becoming soggy.
  • Use a variety of cheeses in your quesadillas. This will give them a more complex flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the quesadillas. This will make them difficult to flip and cook evenly.
  • Serve the quesadillas immediately with your favorite toppings, such as salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.

Conclusion:

Spicy corn quesadillas are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or meal. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can be easily customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying dish that everyone will enjoy.
