Delicious Egg Salad Quesadilla

This Sunday is Easter, so chances are you may end up with a few extra hard boiled eggs at your house that will need to be eaten up. Today, I have a delicious recipe to share with you that will have all of those colorful hard boil eggs gone in no time. 

I came up with this recipe one day when I was thinking of making myself an egg salad sandwich, but I was in the mood for something warm and cheesy rather than just your average egg salad between two slices of bread. And that’s how I came up with this Egg Salad Quesadilla recipe. This recipe is really simple and I probably don’t need to explain how I made it in too much detail, but I’m going to anyway.

-Ingredients to make one quesadilla-

– 2 Hard Boiled Eggs 

– 1/4 C Mayo

-1 Tbs Mustard

– 1 large flour Tortilla (I love the Guerrero brand because they are extra flaky)

-1/2  C Shredded Cheddar Cheese

– 1/2 C Spinach

– Salt – Pepper – Paprika

-Directions- 

Peel two hard boiled eggs, place them in a small bowl, and mashed up with a fork. 

Add mayo, mustard, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix together and set aside.  

Next, place  large tortilla in a fry pan, sprinkle on the shredded cheddar cheese, cook over medium heat. When the cheese is melted and the tortilla is lightly crispy, transfer to a plate. 

Add the egg salad mixture and spinach to the tortilla. Or you could also try warming up the spinach, if you prefer.

(Note: I wasn’t sure if I should call this a taco or a quesadilla, because normally with a quesadilla you add a second tortilla, but instead I just used one. And a soft taco is normally rolled up).

Fold the tortilla over and cut in half. 

So what would you call this; a taco or a quesadilla?

Either way, you can just call it delicious! This is definitely not your grandma’s egg salad sandwich -that’s for sure. 

I’m looking forward to Easter and eating these for a week straight 🙂 

So, what do you think? Are you wanting to give these a try?  Would you add anything or do anything differently? I’d love to hear your thoughts in a comment below.
