These Egg and Beef Quesadillas combine the rich, savory taste of seasoned ground beef with the tender comfort of scrambled eggs and melting cheddar cheese, all nestled between two flour tortillas that become crisp and golden when seared. Each bite offers a symphony of textures and flavors: the slight chew of the tortilla, the juiciness of bell pepper and tomato, the aromatic punch of onion and garlic, the smoky warmth of paprika, and the bright freshness of parsley. Topped with a drizzle of ketchup or salsa and a sprinkle of fresh herbs, these quesadillas elevate a humble combination of pantry staples into a satisfying breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
