The Spruce Eats

This recipe takes the quesadilla one step further by piling it high with scrambled eggs and your choice of toppings.

Ingredients

4 large eggs

1/4 teaspoon fine salt

Pinch of ground black pepper

4 fajita-size flour tortillas

1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons shredded cheddar cheese, divided

1/2 tablespoon butter

2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt, divided

Garnish: Pinch of Tajín, hot sauce, chopped cilantro, quartered cherry tomatoes, finely diced red onion, lime juice from a wedge of lime, crumbled queso fresco

Method

Gather the ingredients.

Beat the eggs with the salt and pepper in a medium bowl and set aside.

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and place one of the tortillas in the skillet. Let warm for 30 to 60 seconds.

Top with 1/4 cup of the shredded cheese and let melt, 1 minute.

Once the cheese has started to melt, top with a second tortilla and flip the quesadilla over using a silicone spatula. Cook for another minute or until the bottom of the tortilla starts to brown slightly.

Transfer the quesadilla to a warm plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and cheese, until you have two quesadillas.

Lower the heat to medium-low and add the butter. Swirl around the pan until completely melted, then add the beaten eggs.

Using a high heat spatula, constantly move the eggs around the pan until the majority are cooked but some of the eggs still have a glossy look, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and continue to scramble the eggs until they are cooked through to your liking.

Divide the scrambled eggs between the quesadillas.

Garnish with a tablespoon of shredded cheddar each, a tablespoon of Greek yogurt (or sour cream), and your preferred garnishes. Fold into a taco and buen provecho.
