Sometimes I wake up a bit airheaded, no ideas for breakfast, blame the sleep or the lack of coffee. Then, my husband would rush in and quickly put together a few Quesadillas. Kids call them pizzas. They absolutely love them and request it throughout the day.

Aside from cheese, ingredients can be substituted with bell peppers, chicken, bacon, avocado, tomatoes, onions or anything else you may crave for.
