breakfast quesadillas

Breakfast quesadillas made with fluffy scrambled eggs mixed with red onions, black beans, tomatoes, cilantro and topped with avocado. No gluten or dairy needed in this recipe. Crispy browned tortillas on the outside and soft egg and veggie mix on the inside. Perfect for Cinco de Mayo celebrations. Almost 20 g of protein per serving.Vegetarian Breakfast Quesadillas I haven’t had quesdaillas in forever, and I mean forever. Or Mexican food in general. And I’ve kind of forgotten how wonderful it really is.

Good thing Cinco de Mayo right around the corner has reminded me that I need more Mexican recipes in my life. Specifically quesadillas. Quesadillas are super super easy to make, yet so many people never make them. I’ve only got two quesadilla based recipes on the blog a dessert quesadilla recipe, andย a classic chicken quesadilla recipe.

Also I am having some serious spelling error with the word quesdailla – there it is again – every time I want to write quesadilla the d jumps in before the a and it turns into a way less appetizing sounding word. Right? You try spelling quesadilla – does it always go well for you?

The food internet world is going nuts right nuts over Cinco de Mayo themed recipes, so why not join the club.

I’ve been renting an apartment in sunny and Spring like Sucre, Bolivia for the last week and making a lot of different quesadillas. Did you know they make for a perfect drunk late night snack? Yep some mashed avocado + veggies and crispy crunchy pan fried tortillas – oh yes. They go perfect after a night out with some local Bolivians and way too much red wine.

But turns outย  breakfast quesadillas are perfect too. Not sure why I hadn’t thought of it before. Since I’m currently over sunny side up eggs, I wanted a mix of scrambled eggs and veggies as the filling. Everything gets mixed together, the eggs with the veggies and a few spoonfuls of coconut milk for dairy free creaminess. And yes I was indeed super excited to find coconut milk readily available at the grocery store here in Sucre.

Once the eggs are cooked, layer them neatly on half of each tortilla and top with avocado slices. Pan fry until browned and a the breakfast quesadillas are ready. Almost 20 grams of protein per serving. Not a bad start to the day at all.

There is no shortage of options for these breakfast quesadillas. You could make these with fried eggs and cold cuts, etc.
