This will likely be an ideal summertime brunch entrée! All of the goodness of a breakfast burrito, layered in an enormous quesadilla. I imply big! Normally, quesadillas are skinny with minimal substances, effectively…this California breakfast quesadilla is thick and stuffed stuffed with goodness. General, it was well liked by my household, and with just a few tweaks—to your style—that is sure to be a crowd-pleaser.
Let’s discuss concerning the development. The directions say to slip your egg onto the tortilla…I shortly realized that will be a catastrophe for me. [Read: My beautiful egg was slightly stuck in the middle of the skillet and the skillet was too large for my hands to maneuver all of that at one time.] No worries, I grabbed a dinner plate, positioned the tortilla inside, and inverted it over my egg. One flip and I had the egg layer out of the skillet, and onto the tortilla sitting completely on the plate.
Now onto the opposite layers. It is going to be a lot simpler to shortly wipe out your skillet, spray a bit of cooking spray then slide the egg and tortilla (proper facet up) again into the skillet. I misplaced just a few chorizo crumbles off the facet of my tortilla (and that’s after I considered transferring the tortilla and egg again to the skillet previous to including the subsequent layers). It was much less fuss and clean-up to finish the development contained in the skillet.
I got here throughout mini tater tots in my grocery, which was higher to layer on the quesadilla however I ought to have used extra as a result of nobody actually tasted the tots persistently. Subsequent time I’ll add extra minis, use hash brown patties, or swap in an O’Brien-style potato hash with bell peppers.
The avocado was comparable. We may style the creamy texture but it surely wasn’t a pronounced star of the present. A slight mash and seasoning might also be an inexpensive alteration (salt, pepper flakes, maybe lime).
I let all sides of my quesadilla brown a bit of greater than 3 minutes per facet as a result of 2 minutes wasn’t lengthy sufficient for the primary facet. With this being such a big and stuffed quesadilla it could be arduous to flip up a backside edge to see the diploma of browning. I used the dinner plate right here as effectively to flip the quesadilla from one facet to the opposite with out tearing the tortilla or shedding the filling.
The wedges have been so thick, that I simply set out store-bought salsa, leftover tater tots, and one other peeled avocado for condiments and sides.
Begin to end this took about an hour, so simply doable for even the busiest meals (even when it’s important to double/triple the recipe – 8 wedges per 10-inch quesadilla). If I have been to double this, then I’d in all probability pull out my griddle versus utilizing a skillet to brown the quesadillas.
