To-Go Breakfast Quesadilla

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: monterey jack cheese

Reduced-fat cheese lowers calories while maintaining flavor.

avocado

💰Cheaper: mashed peas

Mashed peas provide creaminess at a lower cost.

black beans

💰Cheaper: pinto beans

Pinto beans are often less expensive and can be used interchangeably.

tortillas

🥗Healthier: whole wheat tortillas

💰Cheaper: store-brand tortillas

Whole wheat adds fiber, while store-brand options reduce cost.

Heat nonstick frying pan on medium-high heat and cook sausages. Using the spatula, tear apart the sausage and create bite-size pieces.

Add eggs, salt, pepper, and green onions and scramble until just cooked.

Place scrambled eggs onto the middle of the large tortilla.

From the top of the tortilla, fold down until it meets the middle of the circle.

Follow the right end of the crease and bring the corner to meet the middle of the top fold.

Repeat the steps until the tortilla becomes a hexagon.

Heat pan on medium heat. Place the folded side down and heat until the tortilla has a golden brown color. Then flip.

Wrap the quesadilla in aluminum foil and take it to go!
