I've made an interesting habit of spending my weekend mornings using whatever leftovers I have in my fridge to make crazy breakfast mash-ups that are filling and delicious.
Just the other day, I executed a perfect omelette stuffed with BBQ beef brisket from my favorite barbecue restaurant in Boston. I've made countless breakfast burritos with every vegetable and protein I can get my hands on. Why yes, I did take leftover blackberry simple syrup, mixed it up with maple syrup, and poured it all over crispy homemade waffles. The weekends are just the perfect time to spend a little extra time in the kitchen emptying our fridge and filling up our stomachs.
After finding myself with a whole lot of bell peppers, I knew I needed some fajitas in my life. These Breakfast Fajita Quesadillas were everything I wanted and more. Bell peppers sauteed with a spicy blend of chili powder, paprika, cajun seasoning and lime juice. Perfect soft scrambled eggs, mixed with fresh cilantro. Lots and lots (and lots) of shredded cheddar and pepperjack cheese. All of this sandwiched between a crisped flour tortilla...well, mornings don't get much better than that!
Now, I realized I named these "breakfast" quesadillas, but really you can enjoy these any time of day. Imagine these for dinner after a long day? They take barely 20 minutes to prepare but the flavors are out of this world.
Oh, and as with any quesadilla, don't skimp on the toppings! I had salsa, lime wedges, and cilantro on hand, but man do I wish I had some creamy avocado slices, tangy sour cream, a bit of fresh pico de gallo..mm, my mouth is watering all over again!
