Looking for a breakfast that’s both hearty and easy to make?

Beef and Egg Quesadillas are a fantastic choice!

They’re quick to whip up, delicious, and packed with protein to keep you satisfied throughout the morning.

Let’s dive into this tasty recipe!

Ingredients:

• 2 Mission carb balance flour tortillas
• 4 eggs
• 1/4 cup low-fat cottage cheese
• 2/3 cup leftover beef roast (any shredded beef works)
• 8 tablespoons shredded Colby Jack cheese
• Salt & pepper to taste
• Oil for cooking

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Scrambled Eggs:
   Start by whisking together the eggs, cottage cheese, a pinch of salt, and pepper in a bowl. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little oil. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are fully scrambled. Once done, transfer them to a plate and set aside.
2. Warm the Beef:
   In the same skillet, add your leftover beef roast. If you don’t have leftover beef, any shredded beef will work well. Warm the beef through, stirring occasionally to ensure even heating.
3. Assemble the Quesadillas:
   Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. On one half of the tortilla, sprinkle 2 tablespoons of shredded Colby Jack cheese. Next, layer half of the scrambled eggs, followed by 1/3 cup of the warmed beef. Top with another 2 tablespoons of cheese. Fold the tortilla in half and gently press down to seal. Repeat the process with the second tortilla.
4. Cook the Quesadillas:
   Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and add a little oil. Place one of the filled tortillas in the skillet and cook for a few minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden and crispy and the cheese inside has melted. Repeat with the second quesadilla.
5. Serve and Enjoy:
   Slice the quesadillas into wedges and serve with your favorite salsa and a dollop of sour cream on the side. Enjoy the crispy, cheesy goodness with the flavorful beef and scrambled eggs!

Tips for Success:

• Use Leftovers Wisely: This recipe is perfect for using up leftover beef roast. If you don’t have any on hand, you can use any cooked shredded beef you like.
• Cheese Variations: Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese if Colby Jack isn’t your favorite.
• Make it Spicy: For a bit of extra kick, add some chopped jalapeños or a sprinkle of hot sauce to the filling.

Beef and Egg Quesadillas are a delicious and satisfying breakfast that’s simple to prepare and perfect for a busy morning.
