Cheese Omelet Quesadillas: "Made-to-Order" to Suit Your Family's Tastes!

Fast, versatile, and delicious breakfast for dinner option!

Last Friday, I gained a 1/4 cup of "cooking for kids" know-how when I prepared these Omelet Quesadillas for dinner.

My daughter loved how the quesadillas tasted, but my son wasn't as gung-ho about eating them.

"I'll eat it, but it's not my favorite" was his response after tasting the quesadilla on his plate.

In the past, I would have gotten frustrated knowing that he like eggs, cheese, and flour tortillas. HOW COULD HE NOT LIKE THIS?! It's made with the same ingredients!

This Time I Took a Different Approach

I calmly asked him what he did not like about the omelet quesadilla on his plate, as if I were a chef casually asking a customer for their feedback.

At first, he couldn’t explain why it wasn't his favorite. 

But it didn't take long before we pinpointed that it was the salsa (and a chunky green thing) causing the trouble.

I explained the funny looking green thing was from the salsa. We agreed his next omelet quesadilla would be made-to-order...without salsa.

I omitted the salsa for his quesadilla, and added a sprinkle of chopped chives to mine!

The experience taught me that sometimes all it takes is a minor adjustment to keep everyone in the family happy when making dinner!

Cheese Omelet Quesadillas

TO MAKE 1 QUESADILLA:

PREP TIME: 2 to 3 minutes

COOK TIME: About 5 minutes

INGREDIENTS

• 2 eggs
• 1 green onion, chopped (or use chopped chives), optional
• Pinch each salt and pepper
• 1/2 Tbsp. water (or use milk)
• 1/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1/2 Tbsp. butter
• 2 Tbsp. salsa, optional
• 1 medium (6 to 7-inch) flour tortilla

DIRECTIONS

1. In a medium bowl, whisk eggs. Add green onions (if using), salt, pepper, water and half the cheese. Whisk to combine.

2. In a non-stick skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add egg mixture and evenly spread out in the skillet so it looks like a large pancake. Cook until eggs begin to set and bubble on top, about 2 minutes. Carefully flip omelet to cook other side of omelet. Turn heat to low and spread a thin layer of salsa over cooked side of omelet as the other side continues to cook in the skillet. Evenly sprinkle remaining cheese over the cooked side and lay a flour tortilla on top.

3. Carefully flip omelet (with tortilla) so the tortilla is laying flat on the skillet. Fold omelet and tortilla into a half-moon shape. Cook for 30 seconds to slightly toast outside of tortilla. Flip again to slightly toast the other side. Serve!
