  Slumber Party Quesadillas - 2002 "Egg-stravaganza Contest"- Student Second place


Contestant: Ashly Mitchell

Ingredients:

3 green onions, chopped
½ cup tomato, chopped
½ cup green pepper, chopped
¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
¼ lb. bacon, cut into small pieces
4 eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon fajita seasoning
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
10 - 6-inch flour tortilla shells
12 oz pepper jack cheese, shredded
8 oz sour cream (garnish)
Thin sliced green or red bell pepper (garnish)


Directions:

Preheat oven to 375°F.

In a bowl, combine all chopped vegetables and cilantro and set aside. In a nonstick frying pan cook bacon on medium heat for 5 minutes. While bacon is frying, combine eggs, powdered sugar, and fajita seasoning in a separate bowl. Mix thoroughly. When bacon has finished cooking, empty the grease from the pan. Add egg mixture to the bacon and cook until eggs are no longer runny. On an ungreased cookie sheet lay 5 tortilla shells flat. Split the shredded cheese in half. Evenly distribute the cheese on the tortilla shells. Top the cheese with the vegetable mixture. Then top the tortillas with the egg and bacon mixture. Top tortillas with remaining cheese and tortillas (like a sandwich). Place in oven for 5 minutes. Remove, cut, and garnish.
