Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Spatula
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Knife and cutting board

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin
  • pinch salt
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1/2 cup broccoli fresh, diced finely
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 4 taco size tortillas
  • 3/4 cup cheddar cheese shredded

Instructions
 

  • Start by dicing up the broccoli into small pieces. In a skillet, add the diced broccoli and 1/4 cup of water. Cover and steam for about 3-4 minutes until tender. Drain excess water.
  • In a mixing bowl, crack the egg and whisk it with garlic powder, oregano, paprika, cumin, and salt until combined.
  • In the same skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add steamed broccoli and pour the egg mixture over it. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, stirring gently until the egg is cooked.
  • Take one tortilla and sprinkle cheese on one half. Spoon the broccoli and egg mixture over the cheese, then top with more cheese. Fold the tortilla in half.
  • Place the folded quesadilla in the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
  • Remove the quesadilla from the skillet, let it sit for a minute, then slice into wedges. Serve with salsa or avocado.

Notes

  • These quesadillas can be made in advance and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
