southwest breakfast frittata quesadilla
Using this season's garden vegetables and fruits has been a joy! I try very hard to never throw away these precious foods and find ways to use them in all dishes, including the one I created this morning. I had tortillas left from another meal and asked my hubby to make his much loved scrambled eggs. My plan was to make breakfast burritos. However, I decided to try the concept of combining scrambled eggs, tortillas, veggies into a frittata quesadilla. This turned out fine made on the stovetop, but I will also try in the oven. My hubby loved the flavors and doesn't care how it was cooked!
