Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup ham diced
  • 1 cup broccoli chopped florets
  • 4 egg lightly beaten, large
  • salt to taste, Kosher salt and freshly ground
  • black pepper to taste, Kosher salt and freshly ground
  • 2 green onions thinly sliced
  • 4 whole wheat tortilla 4-inch
  • ½ cup cheddar cheese shredded, reduced fat
  • ½ cup raspberry
  • ½ cup blueberries
  • 4 tangerines peeled and segmented

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add garlic, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in ham and broccoli until broccoli is tender and bright green, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add eggs to the skillet and cook, stirring gently using a silicone or heat-proof spatula, until they just begin to set; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Continue cooking until thickened and no visible liquid egg remains, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in green onions.
  4. Layer half of each tortilla with the egg mixture; sprinkle with cheese. Fold in half and place onto the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Place into oven and bake until the cheese has melted, about 5-6 minutes.
  6. Place quesadillas, raspberries, blueberries and tangerines into meal prep containers.*

Notes

  • Refrigerate cooked quesadillas for up to three days to maintain freshness.
  • Reheat in the microwave in 30-second intervals to avoid overcooking.
  • Serving with fresh berries and peeled tangerines adds a refreshing balance to the warm quesadillas.
