I don’t think I’ve ever made something before and been so amazed with myself on the first try. These breakfast quesadillas are where it’s at: easy to make, incredibly delicious and believe it or not, plant-based.
These quesadillas are made with just a few simple ingredients: olive oil, chopped bell peppers, tortillas, cheddar cheese and JUST Egg Folded. They’re then topped with mashed avocado, salsa and scallions. Toppings are optional, but highly recommended.
It has 7 grams of protein per serving, which is 1-2 more grams than traditional eggs. It literally looks and even tastes like an egg, but with less carbon emissions than standard eggs. The best part though? It’s frozen, so it lasts a while in your freezer and is easy to cook. You can simply pop in the toaster, a microwave or a skillet to cook in just a few minutes.
You can get them in the freezer aisle at Whole Foods or through Amazon Prime Now- a perfect freezer staple to have on hand right now!

2 9-inch tortillas
1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon taco seasoning

3. Assemble tortillas: place 1 tortilla on a plate or cutting board. Separate the 2 JUST Egg Folded so they're no longer folded. Top tortillas with cheese, eggs and peppers.
