Ingredients

  • 1/8 cup sliced or diced, bell pepper (Can be fresh or frozen)
  • 2 tbsp sliced or diced, onion (Can be fresh or frozen)
  • 2 eggs, scrambled
  • 1 flour tortilla
  • 3-4 tbsp shredded cheese
  • butter or oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Heat your skillet over medium heat. Once your skillet is warm, add some oil, bell pepper and onion. Once the bell pepper and onion are sauteed, arrange them in the center of the skillet.

  2. Then add your scrambled eggs on top of the pepper and onion mixture and heat until cooked through on the first side and then flip to cook on remaining side.

  3. Move your pepper and onion omelet out of the pan and place on a plate.

  4. Add some more butter or oil and then place your flour tortilla in the pan.

  5. Once your tortilla starts to get crispy, add shredded cheese to one half of the tortilla. Then place your pepper and onion omelet on top of the cheese and fold the tortilla over on top to close.

  6. Once the cheese is melted on the first side, carefully flip your quesadilla to cook on the other side.

  7. Once the second side is lightly browned, remove from skillet and allow to cool.

  8. Once slightly cooled, cut into triangles and add salsa or hot sauce if desired.
