Quesadillas de Huevo are a flavorful and satisfying keto-friendly Mexican breakfast made with cheesy scrambled eggs and a hint of spice, all wrapped in a low-carb tortilla. This dish is perfect for starting your day with a hearty meal that keeps you energized and full.

Ingredients

• Large Eggs - 4
• Shredded Cheddar Cheese - 100g
• Almond Flour Tortillas - 2
• Butter - 1 tablespoon
• Diced Green Bell Pepper - 50g
• Diced Onion - 30g
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black Pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Chopped Fresh Cilantro - 2 tablespoons
• Sour Cream - for serving (optional)

Steps

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
2. In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced onion and green bell pepper, cooking until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the vegetables and cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are scrambled and just set, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped cilantro.
4. In another skillet, heat the almond flour tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until warm.
5. Divide the egg and cheese mixture between the two tortillas, folding them in half to create quesadillas.
6. Cook each quesadilla in the skillet for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden and crispy. Remove from heat and cut in half.
7. Serve warm, optionally with a dollop of sour cream.
