This is a great spruced up version of a classic.

• Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

Sauce

• ½ cup sour cream
• 1 tablespoon finely grated lime zest (about 1 lime)
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• ½ teaspoon paprika
• ½ teaspoon cumin
• salt and pepper
• vegetable oil

Eggs

• 15 ounces refried black beans or 15 ounces pinto beans
• 8 (8 inch) flour tortillas
• 1 cup shredded monterey jack cheese
• 1 cup salsa
• 8 large eggs

Directions:

1. Make the Cream Sauce: Stir together all ingredients in a small bowl and refrigerate until ready to use. May be refrigerated up to 2 days.
2. For the Eggs: Warm the refried beans in order to make them easier to spread. Spread a thin layer on four of the tortillas and sprinkle the other four with the cheese. Heat a few teaspoons of oil on a griddle or large skillet. Place one chhese and one bean tortilla on griddle and when cheese melts invert the cheese tortilla over the bean tortilla. Cook until golden on both sides. Transfer to a warm plate. Repeat with remaning quesadillas, keeping them in a warm oven or covered with foil.
3. Either poach or fry eggs to your liking.
4. To serve cut each quesadilla into six wedges. Arrange in a circle with points facing out on a warm plate. Top with salsa and place two eggs on top. Drizzle cumin lime cream over each serving.

This was a really yummy dish that didn't take long to put together. I scaled it down to 6 servings, but kept the amount of beans the same (I used pinto beans, mashed). Each serving had half the tortillas with beans and cheese, or 4 wedges. It is nice that it can be adapted to please anyone. We garnished ours with sliced avocado and enjoyed a fancy breakfast for minimum effort. Thank you for sharing!

Very tasty! My family loved it. With a little hot sauce on top we were all digging in with gusto.
