Method

Tortilla Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Add Wet Ingredients

    Add the olive oil and water to the flour mixture. Mix until a dough forms.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

    Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth.

  4. 4

    Rest the Dough

    Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and let it rest for 15 minutes.

  5. 5

    Roll Out the Tortillas

    Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a thin circle, about 8 inches in diameter.

Filling Preparation

  1. 6

    Caramelize the Onions

    In a skillet over medium heat, add a little oil and the sliced onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.

  2. 7

    Cook the Peppers

    In the same skillet, add the diced bell peppers and sauté for about 3-5 minutes until softened.

  3. 8

    Scramble the Eggs

    In a bowl, beat the eggs and season with salt and pepper. Pour into the skillet and scramble with the peppers and onions until cooked through.

  4. 9

    Add Cheese

    Sprinkle the shredded Monterey Jack and mozzarella cheese over the eggs and let it melt slightly.

    In a clean skillet over medium heat, cook each tortilla for about 1 minute on each side until lightly golden.

  2. 11

    Fill the Quesadilla

    Place a tortilla in the skillet, add a portion of the egg and cheese mixture, and top with pickled jalapeños. Cover with another tortilla.

  3. 12

    Cook the Quesadilla

    Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until golden and crispy, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.

  4. 13

    Slice and Serve
