1
Cook the Bacon
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Once done, remove from the skillet and set aside on a paper towel to drain excess grease.
2
Cook the Chorizo
In the same skillet, remove some of the excess bacon grease if necessary. Add the chorizo links and cook for about 5-7 minutes or until browned and cooked through. Remove the chorizo and chop into small pieces.
3
Sauté the Vegetables
In the same skillet, add chopped onion and diced bell pepper. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
4
Scramble the Eggs
In a bowl, whisk the eggs together. Pour the eggs into the skillet and scramble them with the sautéed vegetables until fully cooked.
5
Prepare the Avocado
While the eggs are cooking, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash lightly with a fork and season with salt and pepper to taste.

6
Layer the Ingredients
On a large flour tortilla, layer some of the scrambled eggs, sautéed vegetables, crispy bacon, chopped chorizo, and a mix of jack and cheddar cheese.
7
Fold the Tortilla
Fold the tortilla in half over the filling to create a half-moon shape.

8
Cook the Quesadilla
In the same skillet or a clean skillet over medium heat, add a little oil or butter if necessary. Place the folded quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
9
Repeat
Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas and filling.

10
Slice and Serve
Remove the quesadillas from the skillet and let them cool for a minute. Slice them into wedges and serve with the mashed avocado on the side.
