Quesadillas for Breakfast.

Sometimes you just need to scour your own pantry or fridge to find something to break you out of mealtime boredom. I did just that this morning when I realized I had corn tortillas in the fridge, along with eggs and cheese! A few quick steps (while keeping healthful eating in mind) and ta-da! You have a yummy breakfast quesadilla!


Kicked Up Breakfast Quesadilla
Serves 1

  • 2 El Milagro Corn Tortillas
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 Cup Reduced Fat Mexican Blend Shredded Cheese (I use Weight Watchers, but as long as it's reduced fat it'll work!)
  • 2 tsp Jalepeno Cream Cheese (Bruegger's makes this, but you can make your own by chopping some jalepeno and adding it to your regular cream cheese)
  • 1 tsp hot sauce
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Scramble egg in a pan sprayed with non stick spray. Spread cream cheese on both tortillas and split cheese between each tortilla. Once egg is ready, place on top of tortilla and place the other tortilla over it to create a 'sandwich'. To melt the cheese and crisp up the tortillas, place in a nonstick pan, or better yet, use a George Foreman grill to avoid having to flip the quesadilla. Let cook for 5 minutes or until lightly browned on both sides. Cut into four triangular pieces and enjoy! 

For you Weight Watchers folks, this clocks in at a mere PointsPlus® Value of 7!
