Ingredients
  

4 large flour tortillas

8 slices of turkey bacon

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup scrambled egg mixture (about 4 large eggs, beaten)

1/2 cup diced bell peppers (any color)

1/4 cup finely chopped green onions

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt to taste

Optional toppings: sour cream, salsa, or avocado slices

Instructions
 

Cook the Turkey Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, add the turkey bacon in a single layer. Cook for about 6-8 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown, flipping halfway through for even cooking. Once done, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease. Allow it to cool slightly before chopping it into bite-sized pieces.

    Scramble the Eggs: Using the same skillet, add a small amount of olive oil if necessary to prevent sticking. Pour in the beaten eggs. Stir gently with a spatula, cooking the eggs slowly and evenly until they are fully set and no longer runny. Season the eggs with salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder to taste. When cooked, remove the skillet from heat.

      Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped turkey bacon, scrambled eggs, diced bell peppers, and green onions. Stir these ingredients together until they are well mixed, ensuring that each bite delivers a balanced flavor.

        Assemble the Quesadillas: Heat a clean skillet over medium-low heat and lightly brush the surface with olive oil. Place one flour tortilla in the skillet and distribute half of the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the entire tortilla. Spoon a generous portion of the turkey bacon and egg mixture onto one half of the tortilla, then fold the other half over the top, forming a half-moon shape.

          Cook the Quesadilla: Cook the quesadilla for approximately 3-4 minutes, or until the bottom is a rich golden brown. Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side, until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is crispy. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.

            Serve: Remove the quesadillas from the skillet and let them rest for a minute before cutting them into wedges. Serve warm, garnished with your choice of optional toppings such as sour cream, salsa, or avocado slices for an extra layer of flavor.
