Ingredients
  

1 large ripe avocado, mashed

4 large eggs

1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)

1/4 cup diced tomatoes

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

1/4 tsp smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

2 large flour tortillas

1 tablespoon olive oil (or butter) for frying

Optional: hot sauce for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and beat them with a fork. Add smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

    Cook the Eggs: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble until cooked through (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside.

      Assemble the Quesadilla: In one tortilla, spread a generous layer of mashed avocado. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese over the avocado, followed by the scrambled eggs, diced tomatoes, and chopped cilantro. Top with the remaining cheese and finish with the second tortilla.

        Cook the Quesadilla: Wipe the skillet clean, add a little more oil (if needed), and carefully place the assembled quesadilla in the skillet. Cook on medium heat for about 3-4 minutes, or until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is starting to melt.

          Flip and Finish Cooking: Use a large spatula to carefully flip the quesadilla. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side until golden and crispy.

            Serve: Remove from the skillet and let it sit for a minute before cutting into wedges. Serve warm with hot sauce on the side if desired.
