Stephanie Correa
Ingredients:
For Quesadilla
- 7 eggs
- 4 oz can of Ortega Hot Diced Green chiles
- pinch of salt
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1/2 cup of shredded oaxaca cheese
- 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
- four 8-inch Ortega flour tortillas
- 4 strips of bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1-2 cups of baby spinach
- oil
For Toppings (optional)
- cilantro
- chopped chives
- avocado, diced
- lime juice
Directions:
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, Ortega green chiles and a pinch of salt.
- In a pan over medium heat, melt the butter and add the egg mixture to the pan. Using a rubber spatula, scramble and cook eggs until light and fluffy. Once they reach the desired doneness, remove from pan and set aside.
- Place one tortilla on a clean surface and layer on eggs, bacon crumbles, cheeses and spinach. Then place tortilla on top. Repeat this for each quesadilla.
- Heat a large pan over medium-high heat and add oil. When oil is shimmering, add the built quesadilla to the pan and let cook on both sides for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
- Cut quesadilla into slices and top with chopped cilantro, chopped chives, avocado or lime juice if desired.
