These Mexican breakfast style quesadillas consist of chorizo, egg, and cheese. There is just something about chorizo sausage that is amazing with scrambled eggs. The chorizo is homemade but if you want to save some time you could buy it from the store as well. However, I highly recommend preparing it yourself from scratch as it is so much better than what you can typically find in the store. If you want to prepare it yourself you can find the recipe here. For the cheese, you can use several different kinds but I like queso chihuahua. Enjoy.
