Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients
- 2 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 small red bell pepper, diced
- 1 small yellow bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced bell peppers and cook until they are tender, around 3-4 minutes.
- Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook for another 1-2 minutes until wilted. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside.
- Pour the egg mixture into the same skillet. Scramble the eggs until they are just set but still soft, then mix in the cooked vegetables.
- Place one tortilla in a separate clean skillet over medium heat. Scatter half of the shredded cheese over the tortilla.
- Spread the egg and vegetable mixture evenly over the cheese layer, then sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
- Top the quesadilla with the second tortilla. Cook until the bottom tortilla is golden-brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes, then carefully flip the quesadilla using a large spatula. Cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until golden and the cheese is melted.
- Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and place it on a cutting board. Let it cool for a minute before cutting it into neat triangles. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve immediately.
Helpful Tips
- For a protein boost, add some cooked chicken or black beans to the filling.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, include some diced jalapeños or a pinch of chili flakes.
- This recipe can easily be made dairy-free by using a plant-based cheese substitute.
Storage Instructions
Store any leftover quesadilla slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat them in a skillet or microwave before serving.
