Ingredients
  

4 large flour tortillas

4 large eggs

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup diced bell peppers (both red and green)

1/4 cup finely chopped onion

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and black pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)

Fresh cilantro leaves (for garnish)

Salsa and sour cream (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Filling: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, crack the 4 eggs and beat them until well combined. Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika to the eggs, and whisk to incorporate all the seasonings. Set this mixture aside for a moment.

    Sauté the Vegetables: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the diced bell peppers and chopped onions. Sauté the vegetables for about 3-4 minutes, or until they become soft and tender. Once cooked, transfer them to a plate and set aside.

      Cook the Eggs: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Pour the seasoned beaten eggs into the skillet and scramble them gently, cooking until they are just set and no longer runny. Right before removing from heat, stir in the sautéed bell pepper and onion mixture until evenly distributed.

        Assemble the Quesadillas: Place one tortilla flat in the skillet (you can wipe it with paper towel if necessary). On one half of the tortilla, spread approximately 1/4 cup of the scrambled egg mixture, followed by half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Fold the tortilla over, covering the filling to form a half-moon shape.

          Crisp the Tortilla: Cook the folded quesadilla in the skillet over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula, and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side until it’s equally crispy and the cheese has melted.

            Repeat the Process: Repeat the assembly and cooking steps with the remaining tortillas and egg filling, adjusting the heat as needed to prevent burning.

              Serve: Once all the quesadillas are cooked, remove them from the skillet and let them cool for a minute. Cut each quesadilla into wedges for easy serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves on top and serve alongside salsa and sour cream for dipping.
