Instructions
Pico de Gallo:
- Combine the Pico de Gallo ingredients, adjust the seasonings as needed, and set aside.
For the Quesadilla:
- Add oil to a skillet over medium heat. Once the skillet is hot, add the cubed potatoes and cook until they are just tender. Salt and pepper, and set aside on a paper towel-lined dish.
- Cook the bacon until crisp, then crumble and set aside.
- Beat the eggs with a whisk or fork, and add the hot sauce. Scramble the eggs in the same skillet in which the potatoes were cooked over medium-low heat, until they are just set, but not fully cooked. Season the eggs and set aside.
- Place a griddle or skillet over medium heat and add butter. To one side of each tortilla, add half the scrambled eggs, half the potatoes, half of the crumbled bacon, half of the shredded cheddar cheese, and as much feta or queso fresco as desired. Fold the other side of the tortilla over the filling ingredients.
- Once the butter is melted on the griddle and sizzling, place the quesadillas on the griddle and cook on one side until browned and slightly crisp. Flip and finish cooking the other side until the cheese melts and the opposite side is crisped.
Toppings:
- Serve with a dollop of sour cream, fresh cilantro, and Pico de Gallo. Enjoy!
