Breakfast Quesadilla

Fluffy scrambled eggs with beans, fresh herbs, chewy bits of mushroom and gooey cheese in a crunchy golden exterior – every serving of this breakfast recipe is a sure, chipper way to get your family up and ready for the day. And all it takes is just about 25 minutes! Here’s how you get these quesadillas coming.

Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• Hot sauce
• Pinch of salt
• ⅓ cup Mega Prime Garbanzos
• 2 tsp butter
• 1 tbsp green onion, chopped
• 1 tbsp cilantro, finely chopped
• 1 medium whole grain tortilla
• ½ cup cheddar cheese, grated
• 1 tbsp pickled jalapeño, chopped (optional)
• Salsa or additional hot sauce, for serving

Directions

1. Whisk eggs in a bowl. Mix in hot sauce and salt before adding Mega Prime Garbanzos.
2. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat until small bubbles are visible. Pour in egg mixture and stir for 2-3 minutes or until eggs are set.
3. Transfer scrambled eggs into a bowl and combine with green onion, cilantro and jalapeño. Set aside.
4. In a large skillet, warm the tortilla over medium heat, flipping occasionally. Once pan and tortilla are warm, sprinkle half of the cheese over half of the tortilla. Top cheese with cooked eggs before adding in the rest of the cheese.
5. Fold and press the empty half of the tortilla over the stack of cheese and eggs. Let it cook for 1 – 2 minutes or until the bottom becomes golden and crispy. Then flip and let the other side reach the same crisp, golden exterior. Be careful not to burn your tortilla!
6. Once golden and crispy on both sides, remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the quesadilla to a cutting board. Let it cool and rest for a few minutes before slicing into 2 or into bite-sized pieces.
7. Serve while hot with salsa or hot sauce on the side.
