Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 2 Quesadillas
Ingredients
  • 3 Eggs Scrambled in a Bowl with 2 Tablespoons of Milk, 10 Drops Hot Sauce and Salt and Pepper
  • 2 Teaspoons Butter
  • 4 Ounces Breakfast Sausage Scrambled Well Done
  • ½ Medium Yellow Onion Thinly Sliced
  • 3 Tablespoons Coarsely Chopped Green Bell Pepper
  • 3 Tablespoons Canola or Other Oil
  • ¼ Teaspoon Chili Powder
  • ⅛ Teaspoon Ground Cumin
  • 4 6" Soft Tortillas, Corn or Flour
  • ½ Cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper
Instructions
  1. Scramble the eggs in butter over medium heat until firm; remove to a bowl and set aside.
  2. Cook/scramble the sausage over medium heat until well-done; remove to a bowl and set aside.
  3. Saute the onion slices and bell pepper in 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium high heat stirring/tossing often. Season with chili powder, ground cumin and salt and pepper to taste. When soft and showing some browning, remove to a bowl and set aside.
  4. Heat a 10" skillet (cast iron works well) over medium high heat. Spread 1 teaspoon of the oil in the middle of the pan. Place a tortilla in the center of the pan. Spread ¼ of the cheese, ½ of the eggs, ½ of the sausage, ½ of the onion mix and then another ¼ of the cheese evenly across the tortilla in that order. Top with another tortilla and mash the concoction with a spatula to "stick" it together.
  5. Carefully turn the "stack" using a spatula underneath and a hand on top. You want to see some toasting/browning on the bottom tortilla; see pictures. If need be, you may turn it again to toast. Mash with a spatula to shape the quesadilla. Turn again to determine if it is done or needs a bit more cooking. This goes fast so keep your eyes peeled! Make the second quesadilla in the same manner.
  6. Serve with salsa, sour cream or guacamole. Fresh fruit makes a tasty side dish.
