Huevos Rancheros Quesadillas

A breakfast like this one is guaranteed to stick with you

4 servings
Ingredients
  • tablespoon virgin coconut oil

  • 1/4  cup finely chopped red onion

  • eggs

  • tablespoon finely chopped cilantro or flat-leaf parsley

  • 1/4  teaspoon sea salt

  • cup cooked black beans

  • 1/4  cup salsa (plus more for serving)

  • 1/2  teaspoon chili powder

  • 1/4  teaspoon ground cumin

  • (6-inch) gluten-free corn tortillas

  • medium ripe avocado, halved, pitted, and thinly sliced

  • tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Instructions
  1. Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, until soft and translucent, about 2 minutes. While the onion cooks, whisk together the eggs, parsley, and sea salt. Add the egg mixture to the sautéed onions and cook, stirring frequently with a rubber spatula, until the eggs are scrambled and set but still moist, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, mash the beans, 1/4 cup salsa, chili powder, and cumin with a fork. Arrange the tortillas in an even layer on a work surface and spread each with an equal amount of the black bean mash. Divide the scrambled eggs among 4 of the tortillas and top with the avocado slices. Place the remaining 4 tortillas, bean side down, on top of the tortillas with the eggs to create quesadillas.
  3. Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a very large skillet. Add 2 of the quesadillas and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, flipping with care. Remove from the pan. (Transfer to a warm oven if desired to keep the quesadillas hot.) Add the remaining 2 quesadillas and repeat the cooking process.
  4. Cut each quesadilla in half and serve with additional salsa.
