Ingredients for breakfast quesadilla

- 1/4 cup red onion, diced
- 1/4 cup red, yellow, orange, or green peppers, diced
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (any type)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1/4 tsp oregano
- 1 tortilla
Instructions for Breakfast Quesadilla
- Prep the Pan: Melt half of the butter or oil over medium-high heat in a frying pan.
- Sauté the Veggies: Add the diced onions and peppers to the pan along with the salt, pepper, and oregano. Sauté until the veggies are soft.
- Set Veggies Aside: Remove the sautéed veggies from the pan and set them aside.
