[Recipe] The Cannibalistic Breakfast Quesadilla

Breakfast is my favorite meal. Though there are a limited number of variables, there are endless combinations, and it requires creativity to make a beautiful, unique dish of ingredients that are generally all the same color. Huevos Rancheros doesn't have this problem. However, I do not have corn tortillas, or almost never do. THUS the Cannibalistic Breakfast Quesadilla. It is delicious and beautiful. It is both wrapped in a tortilla (as part of its nature as a quesadilla) and has tortilla strips inside as well

The Cannibalistic Breakfast Quesadilla

2 burrito-sized flour tortillas
Two stalks of green onions, sliced into thin rounds

Three leaves of basil, rolled and sliced

1 cup shredded pepper jack

1/4 cup medium salsa

2 tbs shredded smoked gouda

1 medium sized onion, sliced

2 eggs

Dash of salt and pepper

*Take note of the ingredients for vegetable prep work.* Roll one of the tortillas and slice it into thin strips. With a tablespoon of vegetable oil, fry the strips of tortilla until they are golden-brown. Remove the strips from the frying pan, add a touch more oil, and fry the other tortilla, each side, flipping when bubbles appear in the tortilla. Remove from pan.

Add the smoked gouda to the eggs, and season with salt and pepper. Scramble them, then add to pan. When the eggs are soft-set, add the onion and saute until it is translucent, stirring often. Add the tortilla strips and the salsa; stir gently until heated through.

Place half of the egg mixture, all the green onions and basil, and a good bit of shredded pepper jack on the tortilla. Fold into a quesadilla.

How much does it make?: Tentatively, two servings. The inside mixture has two servings, but you will obviously need more cheese, green onions, basil, and another tortilla to create a second one.
