I love weekends. I get to take a break from the computer (which I spend 8 hours + a day on during the week), I get to sleep in, and I get to laze around in pajama pants. What’s not to love? This weekend the days were filled with:
Jake’s dogs, Short Round and Little Bit, who both curled up against me for sleeping.
They both made me miss my little Maya, who just got a haircut.
Went to see Pitch Perfect 2! (Why, yes, that does say FOUR DOLLARS for a movie.)
Went to a Padres game with these guys.
And I made these for Sunday morning: Breakfast Quesadillas. I actually got the idea from this Pinterest post about breakfast burritos but I didn’t look hard enough in Jake’s kitchen to see there were big tortillas. All I saw were the little corn taco sized one and on the fly it went from breakfast burritos to breakfast tacos to breakfast quesadillas since I realized tacos would probably fall apart in the pan. I really wanted that crispy outside edge and quesadillas would be easier to heat up that way.
The quesadillas are filled with things we had on hand: refried beans, sour cream, scrambled eggs, shredded chicken, onions, chives, and plenty of cheese!
They turned out better than I thought they would and they came together really easily! You can easily adjust the fillings to taste or whatever you have on hand. Heck, I bet you could even freeze these and then reheat them at work for breakfast during the week.
Quesadillas: not just for cheese anymore (though I’ll take just cheese, too, if that’s all you have).
Check out the recipe below and have a good week!
These quesadillas look awesome! I’m going to give them a try! My fav beans are Better Bean Roasted Chipotle Bean Dip. I have no idea why they call them dip, since they’re way too solid but boy are they good!
PS Short Round is such a cute name!!
Hi Marla – Hmmm, those beans sound pretty good! Where do you get them? Don’t think I’ve seen them before (though honestly I usually shop at Trader Joe’s so that’s probably why).
I get them at Vons. They are by the deli section in the case where they have the “high end” packaged meat and cheese. They have three other varieties too but I’ve never tried them.
Nice! I’ll have to look for them and try them out. Thanks for letting me know!
Breakfast quesadillas are sooo good, yours looks amazing! Perfect amount of crispiness/browning on the tortilla + melty cheese, yum. Looks like a fun weekend
Hi J.S. – That extra crispiness made me really like them even more! I still want to try the burrito version!
Awww, the dogs!!!!
Good lookin’ quesadillas those are! Very hearty!
Thanks! I just wish Maya was there, too, but those two dogs are a handful on their own, haha.
