This easy-to-make recipe combines the goodness of fresh vegetables, wholesome eggs, and delicious cheeses, all wrapped in crispy tortillas.

Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Chop 1/4 cup of red pepper into small pieces.
- Chop 1/4 cup of onion into small pieces.
- Shred both the mozzarella and Monterey Jack cheeses if not pre-shredded.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a drizzle of oil or butter.
- Add the chopped red pepper and onion to the skillet. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
- In a bowl, beat the 2 eggs until well mixed.
- Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet with the vegetables. Cook, stirring frequently, until the eggs are fully cooked and scrambled, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the mixture from the skillet and set aside.
- Place one tortilla on the skillet (you can keep the skillet on low heat).
- Evenly spread half of the cheese (both types mixed) on the tortilla.
- Add the scrambled egg and vegetable mixture on top of the cheese.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the egg mixture.
- Place the second tortilla on top, pressing down gently.
- Cook the tortilla for about 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and the cheese starts to melt.
- Carefully flip the quesadilla using a wide spatula. Cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side, until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
- Remove the quesadilla from the skillet. Let it sit for a minute to cool slightly.
- Cut the quesadilla into wedges using a pizza cutter or sharp knife.
- Serve immediately, possibly with salsa, avocado, or your favorite toppings.
Tips:
- Use fresh vegetables to enhance the flavor and texture of the quesadilla.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, consider adding some chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce.
- To achieve a crispy exterior, cook the quesadilla on medium heat and avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Serving with salsa, guacamole, or sour cream can add an extra layer of flavor.
- If you're short on time, prep the vegetables the night before.
With its combination of vibrant vegetables, creamy cheeses, and hearty eggs, the Mexican Cheese Quesadilla is sure to become a favorite morning meal. It’s quick to prepare, loaded with flavor, and provides a great start to your day. Enjoy your quesadilla with your favorite sides for a complete and satisfying breakfast!
