mini tortillas

- Bake at 425°F for 10-15 minutes or until the tortillas start to get golden brown. Serve with salsa and enjoy hot!

Mexican Egg & Cheese Quesadilla
The last of our Mexican Inspired Eggs is this Egg & Cheese Quesadilla. Not only are they healthy and delicious, but they also are so simple to make! What makes these quesadillas extra delicious, is getting a nice, crispy and golden-brown sear on each side before slicing and digging in. Plus, these are great on their own or dipped into salsa or sour cream if you prefer!
Ingredients (serves 2)
4 large Noah’s Pride eggs
½ tsp salt
1 tbsp cilantro, chopped
1 tsp oil
¼ cup black beans, drained and rinsed
½ cup shredded cheese
4 tortillas
Instructions
- In a bowl, beat eggs and salt, stir in cilantro.
- Heat oil in a pan over medium heat before adding in half of your whisked eggs. Tilt and move the pan so that the eggs evenly cover the bottom, then let the omelet set for 20-seconds.
- Sprinkle some beans into the omelet and using a spatula, gently run around the edge of the omelet, lifting, and loosening it away from the pan.
- Once the eggs start to set, sprinkle 2 tbsp of cheese on the top of the omelet and place a tortilla on top. Carefully flip the omelet, so that the tortilla side is face down in the pan and repeat the cheese and tortilla layer to the other side, now face up.
- Allow the quesadilla to cook for about 1 minute before flipping again. Press down slightly with the spatula to help melt the cheese and crisp the tortillas.
- Once cooked to your liking, plate and slice your quesadilla into wedges. Serve up with salsa and sour cream for dipping and enjoy!
