Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 6 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup cooked and crumbled sausage
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (red and green mixed)
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 1/2 cup fresh salsa (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp butter or cooking oil

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix the eggs, milk, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  2. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook the bell peppers and onions until slightly softened. Add the crumbled sausage to the skillet and stir until combined.
  3. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and stir gently. Cook until the eggs are just set but still slightly runny.
  4. Lay out the tortillas and evenly divide the cooked egg and sausage mixture among them. Sprinkle each with a quarter of the cheese.
  5. Fold each tortilla in half. In another skillet over medium heat, add butter or oil. Once hot, place each quesadilla in the skillet, cooking for about 3 minutes on each side, or until golden and crispy.
  6. Once cooked, cut the quesadillas into halves or quarters. Serve hot with a side of salsa.

Notes

Tex Mex quesadillas are incredibly versatile, so feel free to tailor the ingredients to your preference. Consider adding a dollop of guacamole or sour cream for an extra layer of flavor. If you’re inclined toward some spice, a few slices of jalapeño can be the perfect addition. A fresh side salad or roasted vegetables can be the perfect accompaniment to these quesadillas. And to drink? A cool glass of iced tea or a zesty homemade lemonade complements this dish beautifully.
