Earl Cooks Egg Quesadilla & Ham with Homemade Guacamole

Scrambled Egg Quesadilla with Homemade Guacamole &
Heritage Ham Slice

I saw a TV chef make scrambled egg tacos recently and I thought "those scrambled eggs would make a great quesadilla too!" So I made some.

 



Start by heating your tortillas to what I call the bubble & blister stage in a large fry pan, with butter or simply use pan spray, and set them aside, wrapped a towel or foil, in a warm oven.

Then make your eggs. Add finely diced jalapeños & onions diced the same, to your eggs. I also added red and green mini peppers. Season the eggs well with salt and pepper. When your eggs are almost done, fill your tortilla, top with LOTS of cheese, using your favorite (for this I used cheddar/jack), fold and add back to pan. I like to cover for just a moment to make the cheese extra melty. It will also gently finish cooking your eggs. 

My last step was to make a quick homemade guacamole with just a few ingredients: avocado, tomato, onion & jalepeño. Dice the onion and jalepeño finely but I like to have bigger chunks of avocado and tomato. Gently mix together with salt & pepper, maintaining the rustic feel of great ingredients. Top your quesadilla with this lovely mix and you have a great meal.

I did add a slice of Heritage Dinner Ham from Falls Brand, which I heated through in a pan. My wife (a.k.a. "Turkey"), said it was too much and unneeded, but of course I loved it. It didn't really match the idea of a quesadilla, but hey, ham & eggs...a natural!
