Ingredients
  

  • For the Quesadilla
  • 2 large flour tortillas
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup bell peppers, diced
  • ¼ cup red onion, finely diced
  • ½ cup spinach or kale, chopped
  • ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper jack)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional Toppings
  • Salsa or pico de gallo
  • Avocado slices
  • Sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • Hot sauce

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Sauté Vegetables : Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced bell peppers, onions, and spinach. Cook for 2–3 minutes until vegetables are tender but still colorful. Remove and set aside.
  • Step 2: Scramble the Eggs : Whisk eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. In the same skillet, cook eggs gently, stirring occasionally, until soft and fluffy.
  • Step 3: Assemble the Quesadilla : Place a tortilla in the skillet. Layer scrambled eggs, sautéed vegetables, and shredded cheese over half the tortilla. Fold the tortilla over to cover the filling.
  • Step 4: Cook the Quesadilla : Cook 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy, and the cheese has melted. Repeat with the second quesadilla.
  • Step 5: Serve : Slice into wedges and serve immediately. Top with salsa, avocado, sour cream, or hot sauce for extra flavor.
