How to Make Everyday Gourmet Breakfast Quesadilla

  1. Sauté chopped bell pepper and onion in 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. In a separate non-stick skillet, scramble 2 large eggs.
  3. Add the cooked onions and peppers to the scrambled eggs.
  4. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon chili powder, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix well.
  5. Warm tortillas in a large skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side.
  6. Spread the egg and vegetable mixture evenly over one tortilla.
  7. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheese blend over the filling.
  8. Top with the second tortilla. Cook over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is golden brown, pressing down gently with a spatula.
  9. Serve immediately, topped with salsa, sour cream, and/or jalapeños (optional).
  10. Add more salt, cumin, or other spices to taste as needed.
