Ingredients

1/2 cup (2 oz.) shredded Mexican cheese blend
2 7-in. whole wheat OR flour tortillas
4 slices (2 1/2 oz.) Canadian-style bacon
4 eggs, beaten
salsa

Directions

  • Sprinkle 1/4 cup cheese on one side of each tortilla.
  • Top each with 2 bacon slices.
  • Coat large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium heat until hot.
  • Pour in eggs. As eggs begin to set, GENTLY PULL the eggs across the pan with an inverted turner, forming large soft curds.
  • Continue cooking – pulling, lifting and folding eggs – until thickened and no visible liquid egg remains. Do not stir constantly.
  • Spoon eggs on top of bacon, dividing evenly.
  • Fold tortillas over filling to cover, pressing gently.
  • Clean skillet.
  • Coat with cooking spray; heat over medium-low heat until hot.
  • Toast quesadillas just until cheese is melted, about 1 to 2 minutes per side.
  • Cut into wedges; serve with salsa.

Notes

2 thin ham slices can be substituted for the Canadian-style bacon.
