Huevos Rancheros Quesadillas

I was sitting on couch in front of the television thinking of what to come up with for supper on Mexican Monday.  Because Monday was fast approaching as it was already Sunday.  I was getting burnt out on usual beef and chicken tacos and quesadillas that I normally prepare for supper.  My goal for supper was also to use up stuff that I had before it became stale or spoiled.  I found a carton of eggs in the fridge, and the eggs were getting close to expiration date.  Additionally, I came across some corn tortillas in the cupboard that I know had been around for a while.  They say necessity is the mother of invention and of new recipes.  This is how my new recipe for Huevos Rancheros Quesadillas was created.

I put the recipe to test Monday night, and it was a huge success. The creamy uncinus of the sunny side up egg on top of the quesadilla.  The quesadilla was filled with scrambled eggs added for a quick, delicious and filling meal. The recipe makes 3 servings, 2 of which my husband ate. I also got to use my mini egg cooking pan, which made for a perfect sunny side up egg that slipped right out of the pan onto the quesadilla.

Cooking utensils:

Large skillet to cook eggs. Cast iron double burner griddle to cook quesadillas on (or any cast iron pan).  Fish spatula for cooking tortillas and rubber spatula to cook eggs. I like the double burner griddle because all of the quesadillas can be cooked at the same time, but if you don’t have a cast iron skillet will work.  For cooking sunny side up eggs, I used my individual egg pan.  Because the egg pan keeps the eggs uniform and the whites from running.  However, if you don’t have one the eggs can just be fried in a skillet.
