Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground breakfast sausage
- 2 cups Shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- 10 pieces Flour tortillas (8-inch)
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 cup Chopped green onions
- Sour cream (optional, for serving)
- Salsa (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground sausage and cook until browned and fully cooked through, breaking it apart into small crumbles with a spatula. Drain any excess fat and set the sausage aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, shredded cheese, and chopped green onions. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean surface. Spoon about 1/3 to 1/2 cup of the sausage and cheese mixture onto one half of each tortilla. Fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling to create a semi-circle.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter (about 1/2 teaspoon) to the surface, spreading it evenly.
Place one or two quesadillas in the skillet (depending on the size of your skillet) and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove the cooked quesadillas from the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining quesadillas, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
To Freezer Prep: Allow the cooked quesadillas to cool completely. Wrap each one individually in plastic wrap or place parchment paper between each quesadilla to prevent sticking. Store them in a large freezer bag or airtight container for up to 3 months.
To Reheat: Remove a quesadilla from the freezer and unwrap. Heat in a skillet over medium-low heat for 3-5 minutes on each side until heated through, or microwave on a microwave-safe plate for 1-2 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Serve warm with sour cream and salsa, if desired.
