Taco bell breakfast quesadilla
A delicious breakfast quesadilla filled with scrambled eggs, crispy turkey bacon, melted cheese, and optional add-ons like tomatoes and guacamole, all grilled to perfection. Quick, easy, and perfect for a satisfying meal!
Ingredients
- 2 large flour tortillas
- 4 large eggs scrambled
- 4 strips of turkey bacon or beef bacon cooked until crispy (or use a vegetarian alternative like tempeh bacon)
- 1 cup shredded cheese a blend of cheddar, Monterey Jack, and mozzarella works well
- 1 tablespoon butter or cooking spray for grilling
- Optional Add-Ons: Diced tomatoes sour cream, guacamole, or hot sauce
Instructions
1. Prepare the Filling:
- - Cook the turkey bacon or beef bacon in a skillet until crispy. Once done, place it on a paper towel to drain excess grease. If using a vegetarian bacon alternative, cook it according to package instructions.
- - In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, then scramble them in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook until fluffy and set aside.
2. Assemble the Quesadilla:
- - Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Sprinkle half the shredded cheese evenly over the tortilla.
- - Add the scrambled eggs, bacon (or other protein), and any optional add-ons like tomatoes or guacamole.
- - Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top, then cover with the second tortilla.
3. Grill the Quesadilla:
- - Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
- - Place the assembled quesadilla onto the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes, or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy.
- - Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula and cook the other side for another 2–3 minutes, ensuring the cheese melts completely.
4. Slice and Serve:
- - Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it rest for a minute.
- - Slice it into wedges and serve warm with your choice of sides and dips like sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.
Notes
- Bacon Alternatives: Use turkey, beef, or chicken bacon, or a vegetarian option like tempeh or tofu bacon.
- Cheese: A blend of cheddar, Monterey Jack, and mozzarella is ideal, but feel free to adjust or use dairy-free cheese.
- Eggs: Add a splash of milk for fluffier eggs, and cook gently to keep them soft.
- Grilling: Use a panini press for a crispier result, ensuring the heat isn’t too high.
- Add-Ons: Customize with veggies, hot sauce, or salsa for extra flavor.
- Storage: Store leftovers in the fridge for 1-2 days and reheat before eating.
