Corn tortillas are typically cheaper and gluten-free.

Start by cracking 3 large BC eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk them until well beaten.

Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add a little butter to melt.

Use a pastry brush to coat the pan with melted butter.

Pour the beaten eggs into the pan and season with a little salt and black pepper.

Sprinkle a little grated cheese over the eggs in the pan.

Place a large tortilla directly on top of the raw eggs in the pan.

Cook until the eggs are set, checking for jiggling at the edges of the tortilla.

Once the eggs are set, use a flipper to flip the entire tortilla over so the eggs are now on top.

Sprinkle cheese evenly over the entire surface of the tortilla.

Add fillings on one side of the quesadilla, such as salsa and fresh avocado, and season the avocado.

Once the cheese has melted, carefully flip the quesadilla over to brown the other side.

Check that the tortilla is crispy and golden brown before removing it from the pan.

Cut the quesadilla into desired portions and plate it.
