Ingredients
- 1/4 cup Old El Paso™ refried beans (from 14-oz can)
- 2 Old El Paso™ flour tortillas for soft tacos & fajitas (6 inch)
- 2 slices (1 oz each) pepper Jack cheese, quartered
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon water
- 2 tablespoons diced avocado
- 1 tablespoon crumbled queso fresco cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- Old El Paso™ salsa, as desired
Instructions
Step 1: Spread beans evenly on 1 tortilla. Top with pepper Jack cheese, arranging pieces as necessary to fit in one even layer. Top with second tortilla. With 2 1/2-inch round cutter, cut hole from center of quesadilla.
Step 2: Heat 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add smaller (center-cut) quesadilla to skillet; cook 3 to 4 minutes, turning once, until cheese melts and quesadilla is toasted. Remove from skillet; set aside.
Step 3: Reduce heat to medium-low. Add larger quesadilla to skillet. Cook 1 minute; turn. Gently crack egg into hole in quesadilla. Drizzle egg with water. Reduce heat to low. Cover and cook 6 to 8 minutes or until egg yolk is firm, not runny. Sprinkle with avocado, queso fresco cheese and cilantro. Serve with salsa.

To avoid a broken yolk or rogue pieces of eggshell in your quesadilla, first crack egg into small bowl or ramekin, then slide egg into skillet.
Don’t like it hot? Substitute plain Monterey Jack or Cheddar for the pepper Jack cheese.
