Ingredients

Scale

Quesadilla Base

  • 4 soft flour tortillas
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Filling

  • 4 large eggs, whisked
  • 1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 4 slices smoked turkey bacon
  • 1 cup plant-based cheese (mozzarella-style), shredded
  • 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: Crisp the smoked turkey bacon in a pan over medium heat until golden and slightly crunchy. Remove and chop into bite-sized pieces. In the same pan, whisk the eggs with cumin, onion powder, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), then scramble until just set to keep them fluffy. Stir in the rinsed black beans, chopped tomatoes, and fresh cilantro for freshness.
  2. Assemble the Quesadilla: Lay one flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Sprinkle a generous layer of plant-based cheese on half of the tortilla, then spread the egg and beans filling over the cheese. Evenly distribute the chopped smoked turkey bacon on top for smoky flavor, then add a little more plant-based cheese. Fold the tortilla over carefully, pressing down gently to seal.
  3. Cook Until Golden and Melty: Heat a splash of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the filled quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is crisp and golden and the plant-based cheese has melted beautifully. Remove from heat and let it rest for one minute before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh ingredients like tomatoes and cilantro to brighten the flavors.
  • Don’t overfill the tortilla to ensure easy folding and even cooking.
  • Cook on medium heat for a crispy exterior without burning.
  • Sandwich the filling with cheese to help everything melt and stick together.
  • Let the quesadilla rest for a minute off heat before cutting to avoid oozing fillings.
