It’s a quick breakfast option—it’ll take less than 10 minutes to make this recipe—and it’ll leave you feeling satisfied all morning long. So get ready to make this delicious Cinco de Mayo dish!

What ingredients do I need to make these Breakfast Quesadillas?

• Large eggs -beaten. You could substitute the whole eggs with 1/3 cup egg beaters, if desired. 
• Salt and pepper -to taste
• Low point 8″ tortillas- I use like to use the 1 point Ole’ Extreme Wellness tortillas or La banderita low carb tortillas. Both are 50 calories or less, high in fiber, and low in points!  You can find these tortillas at most grocery stores near the tortillas. I get mine at my local Walmart store or online HERE on Amazon.
• Precooked Hormel Bacon-cooked and crumbled. 
• Reduced fat three cheese blend or Mexican blend– I use Trader Joe’s lite Mexican blend or three cheese blend, divided 
• Favorite quesadilla toppings such as: fat free sour cream, jalapeños, salsa, guacamole, cilantro, and or diced tomatoes.

What other protein could I use in these Breakfast Quesadillas?

• Jinny Dean turkey sausage crumbles 
• Canadian Bacon, diced
• Deli ham, diced
• Black beans, rinsed and drained 
• Chicken sausage, chopped

Author Notes:

Double or triple the recipe and freeze these quesadillas for a quick breakfast. Freeze quesadillas in layers (separated by parchment paper), before you transfer them to a freezer-safe ziplock bag, to ensure they don’t stick together. Freeze for up to 2 months. You can thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat on the stove or air fryer.
