Chef's Note
For extra flavor, try adding a tablespoon of fresh chopped dill or mint to the egg mixture. You can also prepare the vegetable and egg filling the night before to save time in the morning. Just reheat slightly before assembling the quesadillas.

Instructions

Finely dice 1/2 medium red onion and 1 medium red bell pepper. Mince 2 cloves of garlic.

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent.

In a bowl, whisk 8 large eggs. Pour the eggs into the skillet with the vegetable mixture and scramble until just set but still slightly moist, about 3-4 minutes.

Fold the tortilla in half to create a half-moon shape. Cook for 2 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
