Loved this recipe. Enjoyed the combination of avocado with bacon/eggs with lemon juice & black beans. I added some red onions, green peppers & finely chopped jalapenos & banana peppers. Sprinkled with come chili pepper for more flavour. Great recipe, thanks for sharing.

This is one of my fave quesadilla recipes. I added diced scallions for a little extra flavor. Scrambling the eggs works very well, too.
