Ingredients
• 2 whole-grain tortillas
• 4 large eggs
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
• 1/4 cup diced onions
• 1/4 cup chopped spinach
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt to taste
• Pepper to taste
- Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them until well mixed. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Add the diced onions and bell peppers to the skillet. Sauté them until they are soft, about 3-5 minutes.
- Pour the beaten eggs over the sautéed vegetables. Let them sit without stirring for a few seconds, then gently stir and scramble the eggs until they're just set. Add the chopped spinach, and stir for another minute until the spinach wilts. Remove from heat.
- Place the whole-grain tortillas on a clean flat surface. Divide the scrambled egg mixture evenly onto one-half of each tortilla.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the eggs on each tortilla.
- Fold the tortillas in half over the egg and cheese filling, pressing them gently to seal.
- Wipe the skillet clean and return it to the stove. Heat the skillet on medium heat.
- Carefully place the stuffed tortillas in the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese has melted.
- Transfer the quesadillas to a cutting board. Let them cool for 1-2 minutes, then cut each quesadilla into wedges.
- Serve hot, with your choice of salsa, sour cream, or a side of fruit for an added freshness.
