Notes

For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the egg mixture for a subtle kick. You can use whole wheat tortillas for a healthier twist. Store leftovers wrapped tightly in foil or plastic wrap in the fridge for up to 3 days. To freeze, place quesadillas in a single layer on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag. They’ll last up to 2 months. Avoid microwaving frozen quesadillas directly to prevent sogginess; reheat in the oven instead.
